In case you missed Rick Segal’s comment in response to my previous post, it does seem that in fact the wrong Terms and Conditions were uploaded on the competition website, and submissions will be accepted worldwide! Rick noted that updated Ts & Cs will be uploaded shortly, however at the time I write this the [...]

Ha ha, very funny RIM…
» ‎ DevBerry

The new BlackBerry Partners Fund website has today been launched and contains a whole host of new information for those interested in grabbing a share in the $150M VC pool. But, the most interesting bit for me was the announcement of the BlackBerry Developer Challenge! Finally, a developer competition from RIM! I’ve been urging them to [...]

Are you going to the BlackBerry Developer Conference?
» ‎ DevBerry

Over the last couple of weeks it seems like the RIM marketing team has kicked in to action in an effort to drive developers to attend the BlackBerry Developer Conference, which will be held on the 21st and 22nd of October in California. About a week ago I received emails from a couple of RIM employees [...]

Told you so…
» ‎ DevBerry

http://www.thestreet.com/story/10432668/1/blackberry-fund-shows-signs-of-life.html The first of many, no doubt… (my opinion) Priya actually got it wrong in one part though. On page two she writes “Both RIM and Apple already have a framework in place to help distribute applications for their phones,” which is patently incorrect. RIM does precisely nil to help developers with application distribution and at its core [...]

So you want my opinion?
» ‎ DevBerry

Over the last week I’ve been getting emails from some big guns in the mainstream media asking for my thoughts on the BlackBerry Partner’s Fund. I’m guessing Rick Segal is out there trying to stir up some mainstream media attention and, in the interests of being impartial, journalists are looking for counter-points to the no [...]

Simon says
» ‎ DevBerry

Simon Judge is a mobile developer who’s blog I really enjoy reading, and I’ve even exchanged an email or two with him regarding BlackBerry development, and more specifically why he never talks about it! I do however respectfully disagree with some of the points he raises in his latest post. This isn’t about turning this [...]

I just submitted a feature request…But why?
» ‎ DevBerry

So I just submitted a feature request to RIM, specifically asking for some new APIs. This might seem strange, but I did not submit this request because I plan on using the new APIs to deliver a feature users have been requesting. But here’s the thing, I do need these new APIs in order to [...]

» ‎ DevBerry

AppleInsider reported over the weekend that Tap Tap Revenge, a Guitar Hero type game for the iPhone is set to hit the 1M download mark and indeed the goal seems to have been reached if their website fanfare is anything to go by. Some interesting comments from the AppleInsider article: “Few companies have publicly revealed how much [...]

Don’t tell me
» ‎ DevBerry

Every week I receive about a dozen emails from fellow BlackBerry developers telling me to keep it up, you’re doing great work, keep the pressure on Neil. Usually there follows a similar tale of sorrow, despair, and frustration while trying to develop a BlackBerry application or bring it to market. Would you believe me when [...]
