The wireless restaurant ordering system would eliminate the need for the
waiter/waitress to make a trip to the kitchen or to a central computerized
ordering station after each order. From the Palm, the waiter/waitress would
select items from the menu and send the order wirelessly to the kitchen.
When the order was ready, the kitchen would have the ability to notify the
waiter/waitress that the order was ready for pickup.
Imap based E-Mail Client
This project could involve development of a IMAP client
that would allow the user to utilize the built in mail application on the
Palm or provide it's own user interface.
The client would populate the mail database and view it through an interface.
A challenge of this project could be to process attachments and save
them to the appropriate application for viewing (ex. notes, datebook, address)
Simple Instant Messaging
Develop a simple instant messaging application that works between palm
devices (no need to focus on IM between the device and other services
like AOL.) The application would include features like buddy lists
stored on the client devices, groups stored on the backend database,
and a service to show who is currently logged on.
IRDA Automated Questionnaires
Create an application
that allows a researcher to beam a questionnaire to a palm device.
The user would complete the questionnaire on the Palm and then beam it
back to the database.
E-Store
This application should implement basic E-Store features, also it should
provide graceful handling of disconnections and some kind of security
(SSL would be great, but slightly less secure alternative could be accepted
as well).
Interactive Application
Any kind of gaming application.
Your own idea
