Jaiku for Pocket PC screenshot
Here’s an early screenshot of Jaiku Mobile running on my HTC Touch Pocket PC:
So what is it?
Essentially, it’s the start of an interface between the Jaiku website and my mobile phone. All it lets me do right now is load my current Jaiku status as a mess of JSON text into the big text box (shown above) and allows me to send a new status to the site via HTTP or SMS.
What’s next?
The program has advanced a little from the screenshot above and you no longer need to type in your location. It’s linked up with my GSM Stumbler code to look up your phone’s current location based on the nearest cell tower. I’d like to perfect this a little more and try to make this fundamental feature as simple as possible.
And after that?
Here’s my wish list:
- Display your RSS presence feed / Jaiku history
- Provide a local cache of cell tower locations to reduce web requests
- Channel switching to view other Jaiku feeds (channels and your contacts)
- Comment support
- Jaiku icon support
