custom software for mobile phones

Apr 02, 2006 1 Replies

Hi all,



I'm an experienced embedded software developer but know very little about mobile phones and am hoping someone out there might be able give me a quick answer and/or point me in the right direction to some online



resources and save me a lot of web fumbling.


Came up with a product idea over beers with some workmates the other day that technically would require customisation of a mobile phones UI/user functionality. The thing is that the business model would dictate that the product would probably have to be based on low end cheap-and-cheerful phones rather than all singing and dancing symbian/wince/java enabled/etc.etc smartphones.


So what I want to know is how realistic is it for a small backyard operation to customise S/W for a low end phone?


Thanks


Richard.



IIRC, RTOS is used in most of the Motorola phones. I'd start with Moto for they have good market presence.
