The idea is that people can send a simple SMS/Text with their vote for a Poll from any phone that supports SMS. It's a pretty complete vote system and it works!! If you were at the TechEd Oz "What's New in Framework V2" Hour of power then this was the app I was running to record your votes. It takes around 5 minutes to receive around 200 votes via SMS, the gating factor is the network providers ability to forward the SMS Messages to the phone. At it's peak the phone happily deals with a couple of messages per second."</i> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Kris-sept05-SMSVote.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Dave Glover, from Microsoft Australia, has written a .NET Compact Framework 2.0 based application that leverages the new managed API in Window Mobile 5.0 to intercept incoming SMS messages. The application enables you to collect responses for the surveys through SMS messages. It counts the votes and shows the results. The best part about this cool application is that the complete source code is available for download. :-)
