From Openmoko

Important Note: This article or section documents one or more OpenMoko Wish List items, the features described here may or may not be implemented in the future.

Prototype application page.

A flexible answering machine, that can record incoming calls.

For example, a caller on your 'answerphone' list, when you have your phone in silent mode, may drop straight to answerphone, where the phone plays a message down the phone, then takes a callers message.

Related functionality could be to screen phone spam. See Wishlist:Human_screening.

Constraints

The audio chip in the Neo1973 only has 2 A/D and 3 D/A.

This means that the phone cannot play (stereo?) mp3 while answering the phone for you.

Away feature

A mode like silent mode, where you record a short voice message that will be played for people calling. E.g. "I'm not answering the phone because I'm in the cinema."
