[Announce] N900 Notifier
 

This isn't fully featured just yet, but I plan to develop it further and hopefully get assistance and feedback from the community!

It's basically like android-notifier but for our Maemo powered N900s!

(It's written in Python and the client is developed on/for Ubuntu) Sorry if that restricts the user base, but that's what I'm using! I will be making a generic Linux client (same one, but not relying on Ubuntu stuff) and a Windows client. This will be some time in the future.

Edit: Ubuntu, Mac OS X and Windows versions now available!

And what is an android-notifier? :confused:

It shows notifications of incoming calls and SMS messages on your computer's desktop. Useful if you keep your phone in your pocket or somewhere else.

I've been using it all day. It works perfectly for me. Have only tested texts though.

I guess it would be nice to make an attractive icon to go next to the message. (I would ask for the contact's image but that would be far too much effort)

I actually began working on this and managed to display a notification with the phone number that was calling using SSH, dbus-monitor and some bash trickery.

N900 Notifier is a simple application to display notifications of incoming SMS and Calls on your computer. It is similar to android-notifier. The client runs on N900 devices (Maemo) and the server component runs on Ubuntu.

argh cant we make this for windows ?

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier
 

Run the server.py file using:

You then need to copy the client.py script to your N900, and run it using

Don't forget to open the script files and change the HOSTNAME according to your needs.

A nice GUI and package is on the way, but for now, this is probably just for testing.

The latest version can lookup the contact from your phone book, however we don't currently have the functionality to get the contact image. It may be something for the future, but for now, it isn't planned.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! :D

We're working on getting this to be multi-platform but currently Linux and Mac OS X are our main focus. Windows compatibility will exist, but I'm not sure when. Sorry!
