i am going to develop an application in palm webOS, for that i need to get phone number from device. Is it possible to get phone number?. please help me to get phone number from palm device. ThanQ...
There is no way through the use of the official APIs to get that information, just like accessing contacts emails, this would allow potential misuse.
You could always use the nuid. Not sure if that will be useful for your app:

I'm developing an app on Windows Phone 8.1. I would like to let users type a name of a place, a restaurant for example, as an autocomplete event, and retrieve all the related places according to the name of the restaurant. Did somebody use something like that on windows phone 8.1 ? Is There a google place api that can be used for Windows Phone 8.1 or a nice Bing Search api ? About the last option, could someone confirm that we need to pay that service according to the number of transactions (requests)?
So you would like to use some service which offers that data either for free or at some cost? There is no such general purpose service, but you can leverage some existing:
Foursqare has a list of places nearby. These often include Batcave or Hogwarts though.
Google Places - https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/
You can build a startup around correct places search API :)
I know how to use the ContactPicker to pick a contact from the people app and get the contact details, but I do not know how to search for a contact and get the contact details by a phone number for example.
Anybody has some sample JavaScript code?
I don't think there's any way to search or iterate through the contacts. You could open the Search charm and seed it with the phone number you want to search for using SearchPane.Show(), but it does not seem like the People app searches by phone number. It also seems like you cannot get phone number data from the hotmail SDK for contacts.
I noticed the other day that when I took a photo on Windows Phone 7.5 I got the option to share it to lots of places, including Evernote and Flickr.
As far as I know these are not standard sharing destinations and have probably been added as sharing options by their respective Apps after I downloaded them.
I have found the API to share a link to some of these services.
What I can't seem to find any info on is how I can share photos and other stuff to ALL of the services that seem to be available to the photo app.
I could do it by using the Evernote/Flickr/etc.. APIs myself, but this would require another OAuth signin for the user for each service, something that would not be required if I could leverage the system sharing options.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to do this?
Thanks,
Andi
You cannot, as far as I know.
Apps can share to the targets you know - SMS, Email, Social/Link.
The built in photo app, specifically, is extendible in such a way that you can register your app to allow photos to be shared to it.
So, in other words, the only options you have (w/o coding them yourself) are:
Your App -> Email, SMS, Social
Photo -> Your app
I have seen couple of Web sites that list Windows Phone 7 apps from the marketplace with deep links.
Is an API available for the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace that allows me to query and maybe create a better Marketplace?
Thanks in Advance
To query marketplace, you can use service which Zune desktop software uses (you can use fiddler to see what service it calls to get data about apps).
For example, if you want to search for XYZ in the marketplace for apps, following URL will return the XML data back which you can parse and display the data.
http://catalog.zune.net/v3.2/en-US/apps?q=XYZ&clientType=WinMobile%207.0&store=zest
There is no API (ATM) but you could always scrape the feeds for the marketplace like a number of websites do.
You couldn't create your own marketplace though. From the marketplace requirements:
Your application may not consist of, distribute, link to, or incent users to download, or
otherwise promote alternate marketplaces for applications and/or games.
Is it possible to send a text message from a computer to a cell phone? I'd like to be able to do this with Ruby, not quite sure what it entails. After seeing GrandCentral and Google Voice, it seems like it's not that bad.
Is it possible? How do I get started!
Yes, it's fairly trivial.
Depends on whether you want to pay or not; some providers offer email addresses for each number that is with them, otherwise you can get an account with an SMS gateway (find one in your country, or try clickatell) and then just buy credits. They'll have various interfaces: Email, HTTP, more.
check smsroaming.com it provide services to send sms from website and also have desktop application for it. including iphone, blackberry and facebook application for it.
i hope they will help you to manage sms.
