Hi,
A friend just told me that he wants to plug a phone into a portable solar panel, and then put it outside; the phone would then need to take a photo every 5 seconds, and then post those images to a server.
Unfortunately, my only experience with my phone is throwing it against the wall every other day; i.e., I have no j2me experience.
Searching this forum suggests that a project like this is easy enough, but that I have to choose a phone wisely. Which phones make their apis readily available? If I have to store the image on the phone for a short period of time (e.g. connection fails), do all phones make their filesystems available?
I should also mention that there seems to be some play in the specification (sweet! scope creep!); if the user wants to print barcodes for field samples later on from a peripheral, do all phones have the same, err.. peripheral support??
