color:#1F497D'>Actually as far as having AIM being SMS based, Motorola has been
doing it for years. Their aim app does presence, profiles, away messages,
etc, all based on SMS messages. I’m not sure how exactly it works
but I believe there are a few carriers here in the states that have aim servers
(t-mobile is one of them and I think cingular has it too), when you refresh
your buddy list it sends several text messages to the server which then texts
your phone back the required data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I'm the packager for gaim-otr/pidgin-otr. I do hope that pidgin can be build <br>
for the Openmoko. I haven't looked at the required effort though.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>well... I don't think we want to take the whole application:
our window manager is designed for full/half screen applications, and doesn't
do multiple windows so well. I'm thinking that a new GUI frontend over
the top of libpurple would be way more efficient than trying to squeeze all of
pidgin completely in. I've only been over their code in a really cursory
way (browsed looking for a solution to problems in other code) but the
announcements say that all the important stuff has been isolated into
libpurple. <br>
<br>
that said, we might want to go for tighter integration into the core
apps. adding new protocols is supposed to be fairly easy... what about
adding a protocol for SMS?<br>
<br>
again, I haven't really looked at the code, but I've been through the buddy
list xml, and it seems we should pull those contacts into the openmoko contact
manager. <br>
<br>
what this is all kind of leading up to is running SMS similarly to those
pictures of the iphone: more of a conversation style, but integrated with other
communication (conversation could seamlessly move between IM and SMS depending
on availability) <br>
<br clear=all>
personally, I think if we can get that up and running, I'd make it my SMS
program of choice<br>
