Call For BlackBerry Developers

The great news for developers is that BlackBerryOS 4.0 contains a lot more API`s that makes the BlackBerry more customizable. There are many software programs we still need for BlackBerry, to make BlackBerry more useful to some people, including the following:

Needed BlackBerry software utilities:
  • Custom Caller-ID Ringtones on incoming callers.
  • Automatically display incoming messages even when outside holster, if BlackBerry has been idling for more than 1 minute.
  • Flash the backlight upon Calendar reminder or High-Priority Email
  • Copy-And-Paste Entire Address feature (paste the full address information of one person as plaintext rather than a vCard)
  • Make the button on your Bluetooth headset do something if you're not on a call. Such as automatically dialing your voicemailbox or Cingular's voice dial service.
  • Etc. Use your Imagination!
Please visit the BlackBerry Developers Forum area if you are a Java programmer who wants to get started writing software for BlackBerry, or if you are an established programmer who wasn`t aware of the extra power of the BlackBerry SDK 4.0.

Thanks,
Mark Rejhon
