Clever Assistant for a Dumb Phone

My cell phone is, a LG Chocolate Touch which is great except for a few things. 1- It's not an iPhone. 2- It doesn't have all the features I would like to have because of its not a "smart" phone. Finally, 3- it's no iPhone.

I will admit that I am partial to Apple's products but why shouldn't I be? They are better products with the only downside the hefty price tags. If it weren't for the stupid data plan now required with all decent upgrade phones, I would be blogging from a new iPhone 4s via Wi-Fi. However, just because my phone is not a "smart" phone doesn't mean it's dumb. It may simply mean that it needs a clever assistant.

When I was a freshmen in high school I designed a complex batch file (or collection of DDOS commands) to help me do different tasks. I named it JARVIS after the virtual life assistant seen in the Iron Man movies. JARVIS was my first program and it has inspired me to continue programming ever since. I have come a long way since JARVIS but I think it's time for a come back. Yes, I plan to program a new JARVIS to run from a computer and through my phone via text message. It will be no easy task but I think I will use VB.Net and an external web mail source to send the messages along with an internal alarm.

I'm looking forward to bringing JARVIS back...
