Hi all ,
I would like to port whatsapp to n900 , i am an experienced programmer but i have no clue on how to build stuff for the n900 .

so anyone who knows how , instead of leaving me looking for some answers please if you know the answer to the following questions please do answer :

1 - any links/stuff on how to build plugins like the google talk/skype/facebook chat
2 - any information about whatsapp protocol (will do ARP and MITM anyway)
3 - anyone have any phone with whatsapp installed and would like to help ?

Edit :
Found something that might help with ARP & MITM attacks :

I just sent them an email, asking for a port, especially since they already support Symbian. How many people have actually tried that, do we know?

Uhhh, screw that?

Unless you're in a country where the laws are abysmally bad, that shouldn't be an issue. In the USA, at least, it's a legal right to reverse engineer for compatibility purposes. Making a compatibility program/plugin for an unsupported platform sounds valid enough to me.

Legalities are a bit trickier if you publish the reverse engineered results in open-source program form, but my unprofessional opinion is that you're still legally in the right to do it... In the event that they decide to be a-holes and try to sue over that, you may well be able to enlist the help of the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation), who I believe volunteer their lawyers towards cases of significance towards protecting digital freedoms.
