More on SMS Chat
After I posted about my proof of concept SMS chat idea, I started thinking about integrating with the phone’s address book to automatically alias phone numbers to names, and then I remembered that BitPim was able to pull out the complete phonebook from my K1M.
I started poking around, and BitPim is an open-source app written in Python, plus is supports a protocol log which dumps all commands send to and received from a phone, which makes it really handy for reverse-engineering phone protocols.
What’s more, since there’s a Python impl for OS2008, if I write the SMS chat app in Python, I can use the BitPim code as my comms layer (albeit with the damnable GPL license terms). Sweet.
