And beyond the very basic stuff I described in my talk, I haven't gotten much farther in developing PyS60 applications. I've come to realize that while PyS60 has amazing integration with the S60 platform, the S60 platform isn't a very good smartphone platform. However, I think S60 devices have all the features that are needed for this research project, along with probably the most friendly development experience of any mobile device currently on the market.<br><br><br>--- On <b>Wed, 1/21/09, sheila miguez <i><shekay@pobox.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: sheila miguez <shekay@pobox.com><br>Subject: [Chicago] Fwd: TP brainstorming/design/hacker jam<br>To: "The Chicago Python Users Group"
