Hello
I am interested to know which kind of feature range the ofono platform is intended to have once. Specially are there plans to provide a framework of ready-to-use gadgets, i.e. for user interfaces, graphics, application components ?
Regards, Robert

I am not sure what you mean. We certainly intend to provide some context informations relevant to the modem, such as operator network name, radio technology, signal strength... that you can use to fill in UI gadgets.

But Ofono is fundamentally a set of DBus APIs. It is not intended to include actual "UI" code in my understanding.

well I was asking, because the papers / blogs speak about something like
"birth of a competition framework to Android". I don't want to evaluate

but

the intention seems to be differerent then, apart from the facts that one is C/C++ and the other is Java.

Ahh, the blogosphere. That infinite source of reliable and accurate technical information. No, oFono is not a competitor to Android. It's just not a fair comparison. Then again, oFono isn't completely dissimilar to Andoird's Radio Interface Layer (RIL). But hey, where's the fun in comparing apples with apples?

Cheers,
