Ideally, there would simply be a tick box in a new profile definition that you ticked to make it a 'Temporary profile' or not. When ticked, and you activate the profile, you get an extra dialogue to specify the duration you want the profle active...

i've written an app that displays all the data from that screen except 'uptime'. if i have some spare time in the next day or two i'll see if i can locate the api for that and will do a build and post here.

Jon, here is your application so others can access it.

thanks kontiki, this 10 posts before posting a url is a little frustrating. for anyone interested there are a couple of screenshots up at meshtech DOT net

Since we are in the offering mood to write appliations for others...I have a small request.

I would like a second To Do List, more of a daily checklist. I find that my to do list is filled with more "long-term" items, and I need to have a second list for daily items.

I would think this would be very simple to create, but I'm not into programing and don't know where to begin (nor have the time right now), so I appreciate anyone's help!

While it synch's with Outlook and the e-mail features are great, the telephone log condition is lousy.
Most of us depend on both the written(e-mail) AND voice(telephone calls) for communication, yet while we can opt to leave e-mail on our regular mailbox for later, we have no outlet for telephone logs. They simply evaporate intio the ether layer.
I want a log kept, much like e-mails, that would download my Blackberry calls, both in and out, by date and store them on my desk top computer in a file I could annotate if desired. i.e. "spoke about contract terrms John agreed in principal", or "will call back with final data by friday" .
I hate to delete a call, but they fill up my handheld, give me a downloadable set up for my voice "calls" , both in and out, with a quick referance sort capability, i.e. all calls to 555-1212 from 6/12-6/23.
We so often have to quote telephone call times, dates, etc. but they are not "accountted for" in a reasonable manner.

I'm actually surprised that this doesn't exist as they have palm software that does this and with so many people using bbs now a days you would think that weight watchers would provide this type of software. This would be a good way for them to have more of their members become successful in their dieting.

[Longleash]

I'm with you. Seems like such a natural application. I can't belive it hasn't been done yet...?

My favorite Palm game is Space Trader. I really want it for Blackberry :(

[EricaJ1074]

One of my favorite games from my Pocket PC was Scrabble from Pocket Gear http://www.pocketgear.com

The other favorite was Farkle, and I saw a new game called Word Monaco. I never got a chance to play it but it looks cool. It's a word game based on Solitaire, and both can be seen here http://www.smartboxdesign.com

I just don't have the cash (or patience) right now to go out and hunt down a reasonably priced (and STABLE) Palm or Pocket PC based device.


Also, I'd love to have Anagrammed, Bunny Chow and 10 Pin from my Sidekick days LOL

i'm not a weight watcher but if you send me a link with the details and if it's not massively involved i'll knock an app out to do this for you.

A weight watchers app that's even better than my old one! She is going to like this. See my previous request hereThank you for that app.

One of the real disappointing things of the BB 8700g I bought is the calendar/datebook and the address book. Both are very basic compared to what Palm and other programs are working with.

I would like to see a datebook/address book similiar to Iambic's Agendus Pro for Palm (Iambic:com). Trip/Travel integration, Event attendees linked to address book; maybe some addition to icons in the datebook; AND MULTIPLE COLORS!

Thanks... and best of luck!

THANK YOU

my girlfriend and I are currently doing WW and I have wanted something like this for my BB for when I am grocery shopping.

Don't let WW know though, they will make you take it down.

I sure hope not. I'd tell them to put it somewhere dark if they told me to take it down. They do not own that formula. It's just math and they aren't the only ones that use it. The only thing they could do LEGALLY and I have my doubts about this, is make you use a different name. But then, it is for Weight Watchers (ie. people who watch thier weight.) Good luck my friend... It's a great tool!

[nycts]

PERSONALLY- I would like an app that allows me to configure my own hotkeys. I really want to program the side convienence key to act like "alt" key allowing my to navigate home page with one had.

FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING- if you are familiar with PPC apps there is one called World Time that can display multiple time zones and have multiple alarms as well. Something like this for BB users.

I second the notion of coding some method to change profiles automatically according to time of day or date. For example, from 8am to 5pm, my profile should be WORK and then change to NORMAL when I leave. Cool feature to have.

i don't believe this is possible. it's come up on the bberry board before and some rim staff responded:

This API would allow creation of a custom profile for an application. However, there are no available APIs that would allow you to programmatically access/change the default Profiles.

[wibbly]

Hmm. Shame. But the question that really needs to be answered is not about changing the default profiles. It's about switching BETWEEN profiles.
