The project is to develop a XMPP/Jabber instant messaging client for the Palm OS environment. It should work with any XMPP-compliant server. This project is only for a coder who has worked on 1. XMPP or other IM protocols 2. Delivered a mobile IM client 3. Palm OS Preference is for someone to create a J2ME based IM client and use of POSE, although if you use a different IDE we will consider that. A list of features will be provided. Beyond the standard IM client features, this application should support multi user chat using the latest JEPs, as well as be able to run in the background (to the extent possible in Palm OS). It is therefore important that you have delivered a mobile IM client before. We have access to the code of a java based xmpp client for the RIM Blackberry platform. Portions of that code may be used for creating the client, specially the XML protocol parsers and the networking layer. An optional appraoch is for someone to just port the blackberry java based XMPP client to the Palm OS platform. That client of course uses some RIM specific APIs but mostly in the UI layer. Please do provide pointers to your previous work in this area. Name couple of other vendor products that you like.
