KMobileTools - work in progress

Friday, 22 July 2005  |  rockman

After finishing (well.. kind of) university exams, i'm again working at kmobiletools. What i'm trying to do is to exit the alpha stage by reprojecting everything, and to provide a complete mobile phone suite, wich can use kaddressbook && kitchensync for addressbook syncing.

What i've done until now is:

  • total KParts based architecture, so that for istance we can integrate with kontact or anything else, without problems
  • Plugin-like engines, so we can load a device not only with our code, but also using gammu or any other backend (including scripting)
  • A kool interface (well, why not? this isn't kde? :) ), even if it would be better with a nicer icon and some artwork.. :)
  • More use of threading, every interaction with the serial devices now is totally transparent (well.. bochi isn't exacly happy using threads, but nobody's perfect :D)

With the lastest commit i added the ability to have multiple numbers for each contact, decoding this behaviour from motorola and sony ericsson mobile phones.

The only thing i hope now is to have TIME TIME TIME :(

p.s.: more screenshots here. p.p.s.: also a bit more time would be really appreciated ;)
