New Category for android

this category is dedicated for my final project.

Android is a google operating system for mobile platform. Android is founded by The Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies. currently there is no release of the operating system. if I not mistaken, the OS will be released second semester of 2008. Strangely I found a video that show a China company has succeeded built a working prototype that run Android.

The Software for my final project is about building a Library or API for Yahoo! Messenger. A similar project can be found in Zach Goldberg blog. Mr Zach develop a messaging client for AIM.

So if the Android platform is form google, why dont you built a googleTalk client? and why library?
There is allready an API called Xmpp wich can be used to communicate with gtalk service. Xmpp API is more advanced that being only for a gtalk service. XMPP is used for advanced communication protocol that let you send data with other device. so it is possible to build an interactive game between 2 device without worrying how they both will communicate.
I intentionally created a library, not a client because i want this library used to create multi protocol client like pidgin. But I will build an interface / application that will use this library for testing purpose only. I don’t really concern about how will the Interface look. if i must i will created like Linux console shell.

Forget to mention that I’m developing the application using Eclipse in Ubuntu. currently in 7.10 but i will switch to the new 8.04 in a couple week.

I’ll update my progress trough this Blog i case that maybe something that I do will help other people developing their apps or somebody hopefully can help me fix my problem.
