2) Yes, it is possible I have the power. I played with the URI handling code and it's possible to intercept but it requires changing several system files. I believe epage is looking into pulling the contact info over d-bus into the application which seems like a cleaner approach anyways.

2a) I would like to tap the TEL uri handling so that websites that have iphone "call" buttons will bring up the number in the Dialer. I may make this a sperate app that can do more of a switchboard approach, you defining how different types of numbers get routed. the biggest issue is that anything that requires DTMF will not work through GC.

I think ( epage can correct me if I'm wrong ) but here is where we are headed.

* Name change to remove Grandcentral from the project name ( It's asking for trouble ). Depending o n how boring we all are it will probably just become "Dialer".
* Proper housing on garage/extras
* Better maemo citizen, responding to osso calls about low memory and hibernation.
* Better "offline" handling
* 770 support
* Contacts in some form

You are right the name Dialer doesn't do justice for a great tool that marriage the (some of) best of N8XX with the best of GrandCentral. Can't wait till WiMax comes to Baltimore in September, monster trio.
