Hey all. I'm thinking about writing an Instant Messaging Client for Windows Mobile.
My ideas include:
Ability to use any major instant messaging network: ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, GTalk, AIM, etc.
Touch Screen Friendly
You can be connected to all your networks from both your desktop and phone at the same time.
It can be used as a replacement for the standard "Contacts" application: all your non-instant messaging Contacts will be viewable on this client as well. You can do the standard stuff as well: call, email, text, as well as send an IM.
What I'm wondering, is if you guys would be interested in this, and if it's even worth my time. So please vote and let me know!
well i'm very intrested. any thoughts on vga video chat integration?
It'd be just great. I'd love to see it happen
im+ is good and has a 7 day trial
agile messenger is also good and i believe also has a trial
the best for me has been beejive its still beta but works great for me is free and has a great UI that makes it feel something like SMS on the iphone
beejive.com
these all work with multiple services
id be interested if it could compete with these especially if the UI could blend with the diamond or touchflo 3D
NYRican is right, it should match the Tf3D UI, would be a great Idea, & the greatest would be if the VIDEO CHAT works as well.
GoodLuck
Skype
WOW.Can you include Skype? as i found very few clients include it
great...
i think it will be very usefull when you realise something like imov
a full compatible xmpp jabber protocol messenger with transports feature for other messaging protocols like msn icq ...
as opensource project or freeware
Benefits:
- xmpp needs little traffic
- transports have the benefit that all status and standby comunication per protocol is reduced to one!
- programing is easyer because you must integrate only one protocol
- as opensource or freeware other developer can support you
...
definitely a fantastic idea
1) nice gui interface (agile, im+ = brutal interfaces)
2) NON Memory HOG! (Beejive is great, but runs very slow)
3) NON Power Consuming! (Beejive eats battery likes its going out of style when running for long periods of time)
-----------
Those are my comments based on other applications on the market.
if you can pull of designing a very nice interface, easy to use with the touchscreen for vga, that'd be awesome!
I'd love to use a killer mobile TF3D integrated contacts and unified communication client for the Microsoft Unified Communications products!
Right now, I sync with my Outlook contacts OTA on Exchange and have access to our company directory. That alone has proven invaluable already..
+1 very nice to such an App.
Maybe a little bit nokia 5800 like.
There You can also handle everything to do with Contact
( IM, SMS, Phone, Pics...) via the Contact app.
This would be a very very great App.
Respect for Idea.
greets doena
Thumbs up here
I think this is what is needed to complete this mobile
and IM that can do it all
Looking forward to it

there already is a client for MS unified communications (OCS) for windows mobile. but your company needs to have an edge OCS server running or else you won't be able to connect.
i would like to see this, but it's gotta be a LOT of work? if you plan on implementing all those protocols.. i know with miranda (a windows multi protocol IM) they have enough resourcing issues with one developer per protocol.. and you are suggesting that you develop all the protocols as well as the UI and everything else? impressive..

My plan is to host an Openfire XMPP server, and that provides gateways to all the other IM clients. There is also an open source XMPP client library called Jabber.NET. Really, all I would be doing is hosting a server and writing a rich XMPP client UI. And for a phone, funneling all the traffic through one protocol and proxy works out much better on performance and battery life.
So I would not be writing any code related to protocols, but I would have to maintain a server and pay for bandwidth costs. Ultimately that means I would not be able to do this entire project for "free" like everything else I do: I need a way to make enough revenue off of it to pay for the hosting service.
Also, regarding the MS Live Communications client. Not only do you need to run an Exchange and LCS server, you need to purchase an additional license for Public IM connectivity. That license is around $13-$16 per user per year. And on top of that, you must use the MS Live Communications client, which is not so touch friendly: what I really want out of this is a nice, usable, IM client.
Hi,
am in windows mobile development side, i need to develop the twitter application for windows mobile, can anyone guide me to create an application ?
Hey, I would help you if I could, but I can't I'm sorry...
but I'm looking for a Twitter app(WinMo) all those already existing app don't work for me, or are not supported anymore..
please someone, help this guy
I am using this program called AZUREA for twitter. Works great. Got it from MS Marketplace. Check it out
Guys! I have a litle (big for me) problem: I really miss a few java apps and I wanna know how the heck can I port those on my beloved optimus 7? This phone doesn't support java, but I believe that some apps can be ported! Can I find a tutorial about this??? I will atach a java file that I wanna put on my phone, maybe a kind gent developer may look at it and tell me at least if is possibile! Thanks in advance and please, don't let a poor noob to stay in the dark!
I'm sorry to disappoint you but there's no way you can run java on wp7. There is no java runtime in wp7.
The only thing that would be possible is to build the app from scratch in silverlight. It shouldn't be that had if you know some C# and you have the source code fro the desired java app. But i think building a sinaxar app it's pretty easy if using some specific web services or API. Maybe you should look into building your own simple app instead of porting the java one. You can find many tutorials on wp7 developing and it is easier than you might think.
PS: Have you searched for Orthodox Calendar on Marketplace?
PPS: I have an idea that might work: Search for an orthodox holiday calendar in ical format. You should be able to find some online. Download the ical and sync it with your exchange calendar. Then sync the exchange calendar with your phone. The calendar should be on your phone this way. So you don't need a sinaxar, because you have the orthodox holidays in your phones calendar. I think this should work with google calendar or msn calendar as well.
Orthodox calendar is more about russian and not romanian! Already tried it! I've syncronized my windows live calendar with an .ics one, but now I'm facing another trouble: yahoo mail account not working! Keep asking me for the correct password! Tried to delete it and create another one, but does not work. I've tried with advanced settings and on INCOMING mail had pop.mail.yahoo.com, tried again with imap.mail.yahoo.com, but nothing seems to work!

Hey,
I would recommend using google calendar or exchange (if you have one) for sync. Yahoo is known for issues, and Hotmail... i have no experience with that. But with the first two it works great.
Problem solved. Imap was the problem. Thanx a lot, but I still miss a lot at least a java emulator

If i get you, you want something like whatsapp...
As far as i know, you will need different things:
A backend Server to manage and store users and manage files sended.
A client side with is the chat. If you doing it in Android, Java the process could be like this:
client get a list of friends, then stores in local files. To send a message, firstly can use push messages like GCM to send a message, if receiver is online with the conversation openned, it tries to stablish a socket connection to send messages each other. If no, then it uses the push GCM.
More or less like that....of course there are much more things to do and take care of.
hope i helped you a little with this info!

You can use backends like Google Cloud Messaging or Parse, they're well documented and easy to use, just go through their documentation,

thanks for the reply actually i researched a little and found the GCM is not a good choice for IM as sometimes messages are not delivered so as for parse i have no experience with that and i found something that i need to have some connection between my android app to server (running php and mysql database)
the point where i am stuck is that
How to connect the app to server ??
and how to give a user his personal pin or username so he can share with others to chat ??
thanks

it was just 3 post under yours
And just make that every user have an unique nickname and use it has a primary key.
I am a java programmer. im trying to develop a free yahoo messenger for android (and maybe java SE/ME) i dont know, how i can connect to yahoo servers and send/receive messages... and also i dont know yahoo messenger servers and ports...
i searched in the net a few monthes ago. i find 3 libraries for doing this:
1. jYMSG: a library for java SE, but i thing i can use it for android programming.
2. OpenYMSG: based on jYMSG Library.
3. aymsg: i dont use it yet!
about the yahoo messenger servers and ports i find something (csc.msg.yahoo. , etc.) but know, i asked my questions in yahoo forum! i thing this way is better!
so:
- How can i connect to yahoo messenger for login/receive messages/send messeges/get contacts/...?
- Are there any official library for developing a yahoo messenger app for java (android, SE and ME) like jYMSG, OpenYMSG and aymsg?
- Please tell me best yahoo messenger server(s) and port(s).
If i can develop this app, i will upload it in net as a free messenger.
thank you.
Have you tried Yahoo IM API?
http://developer.yahoo.com/messenger/
http://developer.yahoo.com/messenger/guide/ch02.html
It supports JSON, so I guess you shouldn't have problems. Remember to get your API key.

You could easily use the API said above along with an Android Framework such as Android Query to make the app ...
