I too am new to the listserv and the Jaguar dev tools.
Hussain, would you like to try and do something together? My background
is Java programming, so I'm really interested in Cocoa-Java. However,
as far as I can see, there aren't any Bluetooth APIs written is Java.
I would really like to write something along the lines of the Address
Book.app (using the system-side address book API) functionality, but
try to address some of the niggling issues I have with it:
- If you have linked your mobile phone with Address Book.app (using the
bluetooth button on the interface), everything is fine. The problems
start if you move you phone out of range - at which point you have to
re-connect your phone.
--> I would have the app check for devices every couple of seconds if
something was connected, should be connected, but for some reason isn't
(i.e. the mobile has moved out of range).
- If the phone rings, Address Book.app only tells us while the phone is
ringing.
--> I would like the app to indicate if there have been any missed
calls
- If a text message arrives on the phone, it would be nice for the app
to remember the messages
I think something like a dock icon or dockling that glows green when
the mobile is in range and connected, red when it is not, black when it
is not supposed to be connected and a big red circle with a number in
it (like Mail.app) showing number of text messages / missed phone calls.
This is a heck of a lot to do - especially as I don't know how to use
dock items, dock menus, bluetooth or Cocoa)... humm. I feel a mighty
mountain ahead of me...
So, if anyone feels the urge to help develop such an app and can help
either train us students who have no idea where to start, or would like
to write some code themselves, that would be great. Specifically,
bridging the gap between the raw bluetooth API and something like Java
that I can use.
Thanks!!

Dear List Members,
I am a new user of both, the listserv as well as the Jaguar
development tool kit for Bluetooth.
I wanted suggestions on ways to study the examples (I am particularly
interested in the vCard example). Am also looking for ideas on
'exciting' possible further developments to the given vCard example.
Thanking You Kindly,
Hussain
