Ideas For a Mobile Application

Good evening friends, I will be participating in a Nokia competition for developing a mobile app that would be published on the Ovi store and later the winne...

Well, I dont think you'll do this coz it's complicated, but just for the sake of the record: An anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spysoftware, anti-rootkit for your cellphone.

@anayman_k7, I already have that document you are showing already and according to what I heard is that the Symbian^3 is one of the targeted system for devices, but devices like N97 and N900(running maemo) should be supported too. Please check out my PM. Thanks :)

Yeah it is quite complicated but thanks for sharing :)

FYI, N97 does not run Maemo.

I know I was saying N900 runs Maemo, of course N97 runs Symbian.

regarding the titles/ideas that you have listed, I would not put energy into those, the reason for that is simple;
Nokia S^³/^⁴ both are/will be QT based, hence all applications that currently exist will be recompiled and deployable across all platforms including maemo/tweego. so in short, looking from a reverse angle, all that you listed allready preexists in the maemo/Tweego domain and once the Nokia S^³/^⁴ hit the market, they should become available to all platforms. old phones will get qt library extensions and will be able to run some of the apps but not all. so at this point, differentiate with what you want, to concentrate on an app for existing phones or the new coming phones such as the n8 and c6.

what ever you do, you need to do it with QT, and if the application is orientation and position aware, it could be among the winners.

I have a good idea Ayman. Parking a car could be easy. Remembering where you parked it? Not so easy. So, when someone parks a car, he uses a GPS to save his location. When he is looking for it, he clicks "Find my car" and tells him where it is on the map and gives him how many distance remains.

Hello AymanFarhat!

I suggest that you develop an application that encrypt phone calls (in mobile telephony the speech channels are digital, so I think encryption will not be hard), so two users can download your application and install it on their Nokia phones, then they can have secure encrypted phone calls (where a pre-shared key will be used to encrypt and decrypt the phone calls).

The advantages of this application is that nobody will be able to know what did they say during their phone calls whether it was the Lebanese Government, Israel, CIA, the International Tribunal or anybody else :) (assuming that your encryption techniques were strong enough and they did not use supercomputers in their decryption attempts).

there is only a problem with that, you would have to share your password or encryption key with every person you would like to call. it would be better to manage the encryption codes from a server using some sort of automated system which sends the encryption code through the internet (not so bright.)

@babum: Sharing the key has long been a problem, but they found a way to do it. If you're interested, you could look up asymmetric cryptography. :-)

Thanks Rahmu it seems to be a really interesting system to use, in fact I'm reading the wikipedia article right now.

How about an app kinda like htc sense which makes the Symbian OS usable or adds more features .
