What is your "most" wanted, unwritten application? -
05-20-2008, 07:18 PM
Give me some ideas... what is the biggest application need out there in our BlackBerry world (that hasn't already been filled)?
List them here--I am curious as to need, not debate over whether "everyone" needs that application, but just your need.
Such as, examples:
-Automatic TimeZone Change application
-Threaded SMS viewer
-Automatic wallpaper changer
Thanks!

Not my needs or desires but thinking about member questions here:
1.) The ability to secure select applications without locking the entire device.
(I think this would be a BIG hit)
2.) Threaded SMS
3.) Disable the camera sound (something that might essentially put the speaker on mute as I don't think you can make the BB stop trying to produce the sound)

An on device, native, normal regular Adobe PDF reader just like every other (smart) mobile device already has; when I moved from Nokia S60 to BlackBerry I couldn't believe how lacking the devices were for people to read PDFs off the SD card, it's horrible.
(not some server based solution, not email, not some hacky "let's make GIFs", not a payware - a free, normal Adobe PDF reader. that's it, nothing more)

1) A really good list program, similar to ListPro for WM. I'm able to do a lot of my list stuff in ideaMatrix, but something more robust would be welcome.
2) Good document support (Word & Excel.) I haven't looked at the status of Docs To Go lately, so maybe that fits the bill...
3) Something that lets me zoom into a PDF without it getting all blurry. I put a PDF copy of my airline confirmation info into my 'Berry, but couldn't read it well enough to actually use it. Fortunately, I had also brought along a paper copy (because I'm just a little bit Type A.)
It's possible there are already apps to meet these needs and I just haven't found them yet.

The power of suggestion is amazing. My wifeopened a bottle of wine and then remembered she had her book club tonight. So I'm getting ready to watch the Celts/Pistons, drinking this wine she opened, and my thoughts are wandering, a little cloudy -- what's life all about, why are we here, etc. Then I see this post, and I realize what was bothering me -- I wanted a beer, not the wine.

SMS threaded messaging. Same as the Treo... Like a Chat, not adding the last few SMS to the list, pretty much like SMS Messenger

My top 2 wants would be:
- clock that adjusts to local time zone
- quiet camera
But I think those 2 would be best implemented in a BB OS (even though it might never happen)
I would also like to see a flashlight that uses the camera flash.

some to manage my business a little easier... like a program that lets you have a check box beside the title and then you can name the check box...something like this
title here.... paid? (checkbox here) Done? (check box here) etc etc
but all that for one line and the next would be the same just different title... make sense?

A PIM or project manager that keeps track of communication (phone and email) to certain parties.
Instead of a PIM I guess it would be more of a CYA.

Tiny program that captures all audio output and makes bb vibrate based on audio patterns.
That would allow people to differate between phone ring vibrate and email vibrate as well as other events.

I would go for the threaded SMS viewer and the ability to forward the SMS thread by email. But I think RIM ought to include that on the device. Automatic time zone change should be built in, too.

2 things:
1. a really simple app that allows you to save an attachment directly to the sd card without opening up a program- perhaps just a "save attachment" option in the message menu.
2. a way to forward a message (with attachment) and delete parts of the email string prior to the current message you are writing.

1. Same as Thatz.
2. Native IRC app (not some midp app).
3. Media player that can play 192k streams (maybe with OS4.5?).

Until I got the BB8830 in January, I used an HPLX200 as my PIM -
appointments, calendar, contacts, etc.
If I was going to try scheduling a doctor's appointment or meet a
friend, I would look up their name and phone number. After calling
them, I could Press a key from the Contact/Phonebook and the Calendar
application would open and their name/phone number would be placed in
the Description field. It could copy the address/location, too - all the better.
Then I would just set the time/date for that appointment.
Currently, with the BB, if I wanted to do the same thing, I would have
first open the Calendar application, then COPY their name, paste it into
the Calendar, then copy their phone number and paste it. It is not
very streamlined.
Actually, PocketDay for the BB has a similar function but it is a
large application and I don't need anything else it offers (weather,
stocks, messages, etc). What is does is ADD an entry to the MENU
list while viewing the Contact's name. You Press the Menu (blackberry
key) and in the list of options, there is a new option: something like
Schedule an appointment (I don't fully remember because I removed
Pocketday). When you choose that menu item, the Calendar opens and
doctor's name/phonenumber is now in a Calendar entry and you just fill
out the rest of the scheduling information.
It just really simplifies entering an appointment while on the phone talking with the doctor's office (or a friend, whatever).
Obviously such an application is basically hidden. Adding a Menu Item to the Contact application, opening the Appt application and doing copy/paste in the background.

Here is my suggestion. Look at this PalmOS program that takes recurring tasks and adds them at user defined intervals as individual tasks with no recurrence. I loved this on my Treos and would like to have it for BB.
here is a link: Download ReDo 1.46 Free Trial - Automatically adds repeating reminders to your To Do list
This program was the best $5 I ever spent on handheld software.
Thanks,

A program EXACTLY like this called "My Bills". I had it when I had my Treo and I loved it. Ascendo Money does more than I need when it comes to just paying my bills and keeping track of the due date, and the program called Bill Log for the Blackberry does not match up to "My Bills" by Helen Sandoz (she only made it for the Treo).

My vote would be for a fairly simple task software, preferably with a separate stand alone PC application, that would allow 2 additional task layers within an overall task. Each sub-task (or sub-sub task) could be separately checked off as needed. Separate PC application is needed because this couldn't sync (I don't think) with the limited database structure of Outlook tasks. In essence, this would be something like MS Project Ultra-Light.
The RexWireless packages come close, but security considerations make it impossible for me to consider storing the data on their servers--even if they could prove to me that they are as secure and pure as Caesar's wife they would also have to prove the same to multiple fussy clients. Maybe if Rex ever delivers that long-promised sync to Outlook capability???
