I'm not sure if this thread has been marked as OT, and if so, let me know,
my appologies, and if so I won't post on it again, but I have a question,
what other operating systems other than symbian do nokia phones use? For
example, those that are not compatible with software like talks and/or
mobilespeak. I was thinking since all these phones support a version of
java, can a screen reader in java be written thus making accessible to much
more phones? I understand is not as simple as that because there might not
be java apis to access phone features and commands that the os can provide,
but???
Thanks, D!J!X!

Hi Jaffar -- I would be very interested in beta testing your software, and
also helping out with the coding if you are making it open source as you
say. My phone is running Symbian. How different is the code for Symbian
versus Windows CE?

o yes. it is for symbian and the smart phones based on windows. I am
planning to write the program for all symbian and windows based phones, for
now, but will explore the possibility of writing java based ones in the
future. Cheers!
