Wow Neal, you going to talk about Laser Vapour technology too? May have to book a bigger room.
I'd have thought John would be OK though as he's not XT compatible. (Even without his foil lined undergarments)

Looking forward to it, I'll have to remember not to sit too close to Johnr so I dont get caught in the traps I'm sure have been set for him.

Gidday Neal, John et al,
A silly question for you. Warning: I know enough to be dangerous so look out Will Robinson !! Any ideas where I should look for info about how to pull/copy my text messages from Telecom's servers to the memcard in my Motorolla Defy (MB525; Android 2.2.2 OS) ?
Should I be looking for (a) some sort of Telecom public API or (b) java classes that use the cellphone/Telecom infrastructure to do the hard work for me ? I have no idea where to start and would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone could provide.
Thanks,
Grant.
