Thank you for your eagerness to help OpenMoko! As you may know already Neo1973 is a phone with Linux and X-Window (GUI applications are written in GTK+ toolkit). So basicaly all rules of making programs for Linux and GTK+ will apply to Neo1973. There are, of course some hardware limitations (screen size, memory, processor, etc). I suggest you try googling for "linux programming howto", "gtk+ howto" etc. This would be the good point to start. <BR></DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">What I would like to write:<BR> -Graphically cool looking programs like video ringtones that have <BR>some kind of really cool animation that plays when you get a call.</BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR>"video ringtones" are not programs - they are just video animations.
