DATE REVISION COMMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
08 SEP 2008 0.9b2 added: Disco feature to rotate the trackball color through a pattern.
08 SEP 2008 0.9b2 added: Random feature to change trackball color at each backlight on event.
08 SEP 2008 0.9b2 changed: blingballclass now extends Application instead of UiApplication since no screen exists. This fixes the problem of having it appear in the task switcher.
08 SEP 2008 0.9b2 changed: blingball_autostartup now runs at startup tier 6 to ensure optionsprovider is inserted before the main application runs.
03 SEP 2008 0.9b1 Initial Release
WARNING: This is for the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 with 4.5 OS only. This application is only supported on 4.5 OS. Some have reported that it does, in fact, work in OS 4.2, though. This application will do nothing for you if you have an 8110, 8120, or 8130 as those devices do not have the polychromatic trackball.
NOTICE: This application is beta and has only been tested on a very small number of devices.
The application performs similair functions to that of ColorPearl found here:

Please provide feedback here.
BTW: Some have expressed interest in compensating me for this. Anyone wanting to donate to the beer fund, have at it but don't feel obligated to do so. I created this for the community and my own personal use.
