Snom Contest Seeks XML Innovation

snom technology AG on has announced the launch of its XML contest which
calls on the VoIP programmer community and snom partners to develop
XML-Minibrowser applications for the snom 3xx series of phones. The
snom 3xx series of phones, which consists of the snom 300, 320, 360
and 370, has a permanent XML-Minibrowser. The XML contest will focus
on data screens that will work on several snom 3xx series phones.
Contestants can submit entries in two categories: Business Application
and Lifestyle Application. Several factors will be considered when
choosing the winners, including the number of snom phone models for
which the application was programmed, the size of the application and
various technical requirements. According to the Wiki description from
Hirosh Dabui: "The snoms are able to use services from standard web
servers. You can use snoms, to deploy customized client services with
which users can interact with the keypad. The snoms will use the
HTTP/HTTPS protocol from standard web servers, like Apache. Typical
services are: To-do lists, Stock Information, Weather, Provisioning,
Daily schedule, and Telephone directory. To create interactive services
is relatively easy when you understand the XML objects that will
supported since firmware v7.1.7 by snom 370, snom 360, snom 320 and
snom 300. Snoms can use HTTP to load a XML page or can receive a
SIP-Notify message. IPPhone XML library for PHP provides a set of PHP
classes that allows rapid XML application development for the XML
browsers implemented in both Cisco 79xx and snom phones; a T9-style
phonebook application with flat file and MySQL backends is included."
