VoIP and Python on 770
Today I read an entry at planet.maemo from Teemu about GTalk (VoIP), it was So it is Google Talk then….
While I agree with some points, I have some to add:
- 770 is spread as a internet device, then makes sense to pair with some big internet service provider. And Google is a big one. I can envision Google’s applications like Calendar and possible other Internet-PIM to work flawlessly on 770 opera browser. It would be a great step, since device lacks a pre-installed PIM application.
- Why wait for Telepathy? Why not try Tapioca-VoIP? It runs on your desktop today and will run on 770 as soon as we have the new software, with GStreamer 0.10. Also, Tapioca-VoIP provides Python API!
About Python comments, I really hope it will improve, I know some PyMaemo guys and they’re working hard to fix problems found in current version. Meanwhile, I’m working on Eagle to make easier for us developers to have GUI for our applications on 770.
Last, but not least, My presentation at GUADEC will cover all these topics: I will demonstrate Python on Maemo by coding an Eagle application that uses Tapioca

Speaking of Python and easier GUI development: Gazpacho was added to stage.maemo.org just two hours ago.
Interesting.
