mproject update - not much progress, lots to learn

SMS - found a brilliant SMS [1] tutorial from developers home where I first learnt some xhtml-mp and basic when trying out mobile web coding last year. Understand some of the differences between how to send SMS between phones and pc, but have temporarily stalled - because in order to practice SMS commands - need to buy a GPRS modem and I’m still trying to find the right one I need.
Predictive text - still not got any answers, someone suggested something about using ’spell’ feature but I still can’t get it to recognise html tags etc

Priority is programming languages - attempting to learn at speed - in order to see if can do something with open source (Android, LiMo…) and / or standalone, downloadable app for mobile - so need python (S60s), Java and C++ (others) - have started learning python - using two great online tutorials/books:

[2] Byte of Python
[3] Learning to Program

Am not in a position to output anything much yet - do not think that realistically going to achieve python, java, c++ by September but will see. Going to [4] Open Tech day soon, so will be attempting to look at linux too before then.

So in summary - still don’t know if can manage to ‘magic’ SMS message into a web page without resorting to having to do something via the web such as mobile ftp. Am currently trying to stay away from covering mobile & multimodal web yet i.e. if you want to do something on the mobile web, you need web connectivity, bandwidth and a compatible mobile device, so already you would not be designing an app accessible by everyone.

Links are scattered but everything so far related to this project can be found on this [5] feed. Thanks to a great [6] post on Ignatiawebs, about Zoho, have started trying to use that for this project but nothing of use to share from there yet.
