Interested in taking part in developing the .TEL applications for mobile devices? Visit http://dev.telnic.org . Since yesterday 16, October 2008 a collection of source codes, API, toolkits and guides are made available for developers. Feel free to download and play with the code. It is expected that mobile applications will attract the biggest interest. The download page at http://dev.telnic.org/pages/downloads.html contains links to source code for Windows Mobile devices, Blackberry, iPhone and Outlook plugin. You can try the code and see if you can improve it by adding new features and tricks.



The main idea is to make .TEL domain name very usable. For example, a mobile phone application would allow to look-up a .TEL domain of a certain person and access his/hers contact details by a click of a button. On a smartphone it would mean a one click to start dialling the number or a click to start writing an e-mail.
Also .TEL domain names will need to have a special hosting software because all contact information of all people using a TEL would be stored directly onto DNS (domain name system) and not via HTTP protocol as conventional web-sites. Very soon an example of such hosting software will be made available for developers at http://dev.telnic.org./pages/th/landing.html
