I am thinking about this new idea for a project. I am not sure I should use J2ME or Python for this. But currently python looks better and faster option for this.
The idea is this, we have these smart phones. These smart phones have more computing power than early PCs and these small PCs are just running into loop and doing nothing. Imagine whatwe can achieve if we can get these processors to do something useful.
I am thinking of developing a cron utility in python which will look into crontab file and do the things at specific time.
Once I get this utility working then I can come up with many small command line utilities to be executed by this cron server to do usefull things.
Following things come to mind for these utilities
- Send a reminder sms to some one (need a small command sms tool which will read the file and send a sms to that person.
- Upload all the photos from a directory to the server (Flicker)
- Download some of the podcast
- sync the contacts
Later I can come up with GUI utility to create the crontab file.
