The ultimate Hackable phone – the N900
I’ve been tinkering around with Python on the N900 and this one one phone hackers will love. You can make the phone do almost anything you want if you know a little bit of scripting. I picked up a bit of python to try making a call blocker which was missing for the N900, and this is what I came up with. You can read how to do that with Python in the article I wrote on MyNokiaWorld – Block Unwanted calls on your N900. You can even configure the Notification lights on the Phone by editing a configuration file.
Now how about a script which detects if the phone is in your pocket and automatically turn on the vibrate mode? I found someone who wrote up a Python script which does this for the N900 here – http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44484
I’ve just begun exploring this phone in my free time, but it’s a great phone if you’re looking for a customizable phone and you do know Python or some Linux programming.
N900 is great for debian enthusiasts as well. Besides PyGame too works on it without any hiccups at all
I tried writing a flash card application in PyGame, though its still incomplete – http://github.com/ideamonk/FlashLearner
Let me know if you could test it out on your machine.
Yeah – I’ll check out your PyGame.
