Hi,,
I've been watching developments for two years toward implementation of a smartphone dialer. Now via Bluetooth and the Anaren AIR interface shown last month in Nuts & Volts, I'm interested in finding someone who can assemble a Java application for the LG840G, and other LG smartphones.
Initially, I may try to develop a VB application to mimic/demonstrate LG840G functionality via the Bluetooth interface to Arduino. This would simplify development of the demonstration of various ideas. Java development could happen in phase two, possibly using an emulator.
I'd like to develop the Arduino to VB connection using simple VB code. I'll bet VB will simply treat the Bluetooth connection as a COMM port, so a primitive VB to Arduino application that implements the connection via USB, will also support the Bluetooth connection. I'm guessing, all I need do is identify the Bluetooth COMM port and process buffer I/O sames as for USB which worked fine.
Once this is verified, I can develop VB functionality of the Java application I want to develop for the LG840G which I have prepaid for just $6/month until 2017. I could easily afford to get a second phone dedicated to development and testing at this price, but if a suitable emulator exists, I'll use it.
LG Java development SDK and requirements seem a little daunting, however there is open source available which can be hacked, adding Bluetooth support, and needed features...
Is anyone interested in this project?
