Hi!

The N900 is not yet available in Singapore, but that doesn't stop me from considering to build an application to make use of the JSON API that is available to retrieve information about the next buses coming to a bus stop.

I'm guessing that writing an app around this should be quite straight forward (basic functionality, not GPS integration...). How should I proceed? Python? I've never done anything in Python that could be challenge... I have a Windows Qt app, but as I haven't ported that one to Maemo yet, I don't want to start another one.

And if someone thinks he can build this application in the blink of an eye, I'll harbour no hard feelings...

PS! In case you're wondering, yes, there is an iPhone app for that...

There's already a generic transport app (travelapp - see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41590). If you get in touch with the developer, it should be fairly straightforward for them to add another data source to it.
