Manager application for Openmoko based devices
With the first Openmoko based device (FIC Neo 1973) just around the corner, it might be useful to create a device manager for Openmoko devices. Options for changing settings, etc. could be implemented, similar to Nokia's windows based "PC Suite". Features such as sending SMS through the phone, reading contacts and making phone calls. It would also be useful if it could be implemented well into Rhythymbox (like the iPod is) as it is capable of playing music.
