The general idea is to write a script to export contacts from the palm pilot as a CSV file then import the data into an sqlite database. An application will be written using the Enlightenment toolkits to browse the database. This application will be extended to provide functionality specific to some databases.

The UI for this application will be based on the existing messaging application on the phone.

The working repository is available here.

I have built an openmoko toolchain on my ubuntu laptop and I have successfully tested the application witrh real data.

Using this HOWTO I have written a script to build packages for dbview. The package is online in this repository. The dbview package is now available for download.

A new store for opkg packages has been created.

I just noticed that the dbview package doesn't specify sqlite3 as a dependency. This will be fixed in the next version. In the mean time you should manually install sqlite3 with opkg.
