by Pankaj Nathani
Every 10 days, we would be featuring in the “PyS60 Applications” section, a new application on Pys60 !
The prominent aim of the Featured PyS60 Applications section is to help the developers of Pys60 build standalone applications on Pys60.
The twin Featured Application #8 comprises of BH BlueJack and BH Text-to-Speech by Christian Shtarkov.
BH BlueJack is an open-source bluejacking application written in
Python for Symbian S60 3rd edition devices.
Features:
* Sending messages – just type in your message and select a
target and the program will convert the message to a VCF card,
which is compatible with most mobile devices, and it will send it
via bluetooth.
* Sending templates – you can have a predefined set of messages
to send. Just select one and the target device and it will send it.
* Add/Remove templates – you can make your own set of
templates. Templates are separated by a % sign, which can be
put by pressing the left softkey and selecting “Separator”. After
your done press the left softkey and select “Save” to save your
changes. If you just quit using the right softkey, the program will
discard the changes.
* In-built help – all the program functions are explained in this
menu.
