Another point with the amount of information is - Security.
My previous phone had space to save some dozens of messages, images ...
Now I have hundreds of times more space for text messages
documents and images. And no simple way to secure my data.
Seven years ago I had a desktop pc with 40 GB harddisk. And I
would freaked out if I "lost" my desktop pc, now I wear a
phone with me with 32GB (+ 8 GB memory card).


Yes this could be complicated, but I will give it a try. But
prior to that I want to bring this version in the extras repository.

Thx

Correct. However, as soon you travel internationally, laws governing encryption change from one country to another, and you'd better be traveling with a device whose encryption scheme would not hamper a mandatory inquiry, and never travel with a device with an encryption scheme offering "plausible deniability" if you don't want to spend ages locked down attempting to prove that you really revealed all what was indeed stored in your gadget...

A Dell study from 2009 found that 12'000 laptops are lost each week in US airports, mostly at security checkpoints (interesting isn't it ?) and only 33% are recovered (17% before flight, 16% after flight).

Only common sense can save the user: never travel with any device holding sensitive unencrypted information in case it gets stolen or lost, but be damn sure you can grant unrestricted access when required by authorities.

It my old days I did quite a bit of design and programming on Siemens Infineon SAB80C537 and Microchip PIC's microcontrollers in assembler and C. I've no clue what developping for the N900 looks like, but would be glad to humbly attempt to give you a hand. Just send a PM if needed.

Take care

Hi nicolai.
I was wondering if something like a "display results while digiting" function could be easlily implemented at least for contacts search.

@hirabayashitaro

This would be difficult with the current implementation. The contact
search runs over every contact field, not only name and/or phone numbers.
I would have to preload the whole data for all contacts to make this
kind of "live search".

Btw.
A new version 0.1.2 is in extras-devel.
As suggested by an user, from the contact details view, tap on
the contacts avatar to start the contacts editor.

Thanks for this suggestion.

Why cant i find anywhere search support for the notes that resides in the calendar and that are the ones that synchronizes with outlook??

All notes in the calendar application can be searched with this tool.
Just open settings for the calendar search, check/uncheck which type
of calendar events you would like to search (notes, events, birthday,...)
and select the calendars (calendar colour), and the time frame.

Finally.... thanks! Will test it right away!

Works great!! Would be nice to have an about window, so one can have a check regarding software version and where to send money and other good to have information

Are you thinking in adding other sources for searching?

I would suggest to add:
- Call log
- Applications menu
- eMail, this has been discussed earlier but, asking is free ;-)

Thanks for your work.

Great stuff as usual, thanks.

My suggestion is that after searching for a Calendar item, when selecting from the found list of items to go straight to the Calendar app rather than open in editing mode?

I find I am looking for items past or future & want to jump to that week to see whats going on before I would want to edit.
