@Jancans,
We don’t advertise Arduino on Hackaday. We have banner advertisements, you can see who buys advertising from us.

He submitted his story to us. This is an excerpt from his email
“I hacked together the first prototype by interfacing a stock arduino with one of those cheap Nokia 3310 displays. It’s only evolved since then…”

[flame on]
Flame war about arduino, at this time looks like provocation from hackaday. As someone mentioned, at all 3 links and all blog entries are not such phrase arduino.
Are hack a day get paid or what?

I think it is awesome! What hardware was used is not that important to me.

The hardware is really interesting but what impresses the hell out of me is the work on getting the blackberry to cooperate. Those damn things are ORNERY. Every time I’ve tried to develop for mine I end up jumping through endless hoops to get a partial kludge to work.

I love me some arduino, but that daemon on the blackberry is the real story IMHO.

@ damox, Yup, you have been able to do it on winCE for years, more expensively with more power consumption and more weight hanging off my wrist than a mere watch sized unit :)

The arduino isn’t a ‘worthless’ toy. It’s just an annoyingly overpopular and simple one.

if it hasn’t already, an alarm to detect disconnection from the blackberry may be a good idea. My friend keeps leaving his phone on trainS and at restaurants, luckily I have been there most of the time but one time he did end up losing his iphone.

The arduino is a powerfull development tool, I think people on here only bitch about it when they are been used in situations where it is not needed or use of such is over the top.

Don’t know what will be in the Future, but i think it’s good idea!

This is an impressive feat though. This device started as nothing, now actually is a useful purpose. Well done.

@alexsfox I agree with what you said in full. It’s especially annoying to see idiots getting all bug eyed about “hacking” when all they’re doing is making a high powered LED flash.

@EdZ i like the way you think.
