iLiad application in python or java

[madprocessor]

hi there,

I'm completely new to the liad development... I know quite a bit about python and a little about java. I wan't to develop an application for the liad which can:
freehand paint / writing
multiple pages
annotate pdfs
save the created documents

send documents via bluetooth or lan to another device...

is this possible with python or java? or must i use c++?

whould the experts say it is something which can be done or is it nearly impossible?

thanks for any information

I'm no expert, but it looks like it can be done, though not in a single application
iPdf and the notes-png-painting of the iLiad deliver the first three tasks:

freehand paint / writing
multiple pages
annotate pdfs

saving the created documents is something I currently am working upon. Merging a PDF with its scribbles is possible with Python it is pretty slow though.

Unfortunately I ran into a wicked filesystem problem on my iLiad, needs to be reflashed by iRex :'( - NEVER name a folder with something like 'merge' or 'scribble'!

I cannot confirm, that it will run on the iLiad, but it very much looks as it could. I only had made one very little test that returned no issues.

Concerning bluetooth i have no idea, maybe one can access a bluetooth usb dongle as serial device like a usb-keyboard, via wlan the standard delivery service to a shared folder is always available, or you can use my email-client for this task. I'm think it is possible to code something similar for other transfer-protocols such as ftp with python.
