CALLING ALL... uh... cell phone app programmers?

skuller972:
During one of my famous random examinations of random objects of mine, I came to notice that my cell phone's headphone plug (which is smaller than normal headphones) and my TI-84 SE's I/O cable plug were THE SAME SIZE!!!!
I then came to have one of my famous LIGHTBULBMOMENTS!!!TM, and examined that one could program an app for the cell phone, that can access programs and files from the interweb, create programs with an IDE, or just transfer programs and files from the calc to the phone!! It could send data to where the headphones would be, but instead, the calculator recieves it and reads it and loads it to its memory!!!
But here's where I'm stuck: I don't know what language cellphone apps use, or how to program anything but BASIC or ASM.
If anyone helps, I love you  :-*
I would definitely pay 3 dollars for an app like this!!!

calc84maniac:
I think this would require that the cell phone should be able to detect the signals the calculator sends back through the cord, which would (unless I am confused) only work if it was somehow a microphone port as well.

skuller972:
oh... well cant the calculator just recieve stuff?

calc84maniac:
Well, sending stuff from a cell phone still requires the signal from the calculator that the bit has been received. I suppose it may be possible to just assume a certain delay, but I doubt that would work well.

skuller972:
d'oh man! i was really hoping it would work... wait, now looking at the symbol on the cover for the plug, I think that it is really a bluetooth set plug!! my hopes have been reborn!!!
