Way to go Kevin!!!!

to add on a little. any developer who does this app, and do a good job with it, is going to get huge recognition from the blackberry community. Which means any other apps they make and sell is going to get more attention from blackberry users. it will be a good advertisement for their company or team.

recognition wont bring bread and butter to your home. to all devs participating, never give your app for free, put a price at least 3 bucks on it. nobody would mind if its a great and needed app.

Lol Kevin proved people will pay top dollar for apps that do nothing. And it's a well known fact that americans will buy anything.

 
 
Posted by PostMortem Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

I disagree, I feel that if anything; Kevin proved that HE will buy "anything". In his defense, they did trippledogdare him (or something). People in general will buy based on different factors, what sells is a combination of recognition and functionality.

I would not confuse CrackBerry nation for [insert other platform here].

 
 
Posted by berry4eva Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

yeah yeah blame it on the trippledogdare, even if its a quadruple dare, if the dare was to jump over a cliff, should he do it? it was purely kev choice.

 
 
Posted by berry4eva Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

it is indeed. the at least 3 bucks is for others who isnt american then :D

 
 
Posted by Max_Powers Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Its also a well known fact that Kevin is, in fact, Canadian.

 
 
Posted by BB-Bmore Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Mhmm I'm American and I beg to differ.

 
 
Posted by jordandrews90 Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Lofty Goal but i'm sure you guys can pull it off!

I don't think I can really contribute anything except visiting the site more(ad revenue?) and paying for the app if you guys ask :)

Good luck!

I would love to do this but realistically my team are still too amateur and others are bound to be able to do a better job than us at this point.

 
 
Posted by Rootbrian Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Why so few comments? WE NEED ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

 
 
Posted by buckwylder Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

I would love to be a part of the team as a "power user / tester with a lot of ideas"... LoL

I don't know if teams need guys like artists, thinkers, etc...

hmm, good to see the goals

The BB handsets finally took some steps fwd with the new Torch 9800 series (full screen) but still behind compared to others (no front camera or Skype video). Since RIM seems to have given up in creating competitive products & Apps, I hope someone steps up to deliver Skype video and much of the missing functionality enjoyed by others.. especially on PB tablet

 
 
Posted by ndsouza Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

I really like this idea! If you need a beta tester I will offer my services! Good luck!

 
 
Posted by El Platanero Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Can we as users give suggestions as to what we would want in the app? Assuming the answer is yes here are my suggestions:

1. Forum search
2. Access to podcasts of both Crackberry and mobile nation

3. Be able to login in with our Crackberry login and maybe even have a summary of articles in which we made comments on

4. Integrated with bbm so we can easily forward an article or information to another user.

I have more ideas but I will start with that.

 
 
Posted by ekim501 Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

5. Shop crackberry

 
 
Posted by El Platanero Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

I like.

 
 
Posted by sam_b77 Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Now I'm really waiting for this one. No more TapaTalk.I hope they integrate forums and maybe push notifications for subscribed thread. That would be awesome.

Also as far as conspiracies go, has anyone noticed the pic of BB10 Phone Kevin put up? Its a slider one. The one rumoured to have been cancelled. Does Kevin know something we don't? (Besides the everything else he knows and we don't :p).

 
 
Posted by HaTaX Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Are you looking at building a team of developers to put this together or are you looking for a group of people that already work together for this?

I'd be happy to throw some of my time into the ring to help out if I could.... Just not sure if you're looking to make a team, or hire an already assembled one. :)

 
 
Posted by menaknow Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Exactly, not sure what he is asking for either...

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

not looking to build a team... i figure either devs work mainly indepedently, or they're a full out app company w/ multiple devs ont he team. so it could be a company. could be an independent. but i dont think getting a bunch of indepedent devs working together in a team managed by us will be the easiest path to building an awesome app. i'll clarify the post.

How about suggestions for the interface here?

I think it would be cool to be able to browse the content of stories by using a card interface (much like album cover scroll) Then select the story. have it show the content, have the content split either horizontal or vertical to display the story and the comments separately. Scroll Crackberry store Specials or related content across the top or bottom of the screen. Have a pull down swipe show other areas, such as the Forums, Playbook Specific Downloads. A List of the contributing authors and a quick way to send feedback to them.

 
 
Posted by Rob Robertson Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

This is a great idea. I hope that the winning submission makes it easy to seamlessly switch between the main blog content, the forums and the store. That would be a dream app.

Good luck everyone.

 
 
Posted by csantoss Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

I would suggest a new app for the Playbook before hand... It works, but as you ahve so aptly stated, it does not really showcase the PBs capabilities...

I like turttles

 
 
Posted by TS_Cycle_Salvage433 Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Lol, +1!

 
 
Posted by 07thking Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

I need to hurry up and learn to code!

 
 
Posted by Trick_Deck Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

We need a pb app that has no need to open the browser to get to any of the functions ie.. forums, shop crackberry etc...

 
 
Posted by peterallcdn Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Just make sure the app allows pinch-to-zoom or the ability to increase font size app-wide!

 
 
Posted by mkye86 Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

This Super App should have all the current things you guys offer in other apps and then some.

Wall paper changer, Screenshot app, even add a stay lit function, or flash light function.. throw in some extra convenience keys.. Something similar to Shao's 6 tools but all intergrated in to this super CRACKBerry app!!!

 
 
Posted by Bongs Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

I am interested in designing the app, however I do not know how to code.

 
 
Posted by Big BB Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Will there an api for the site to be able to get all the info need for the app

 
 
Posted by alunkkk Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Vote for Shao-Soft !

 
 
Posted by visceralberry Friday, Jan 20, 2012 128 days ago

+1!

 
 
Posted by BB-Bmore Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 128 days ago

Shao Soft does great work ,in the mean time can we fix the log in issue with the new beta? I don't have any problems logging in anywhere else but the site I'm on the most of course...CRACKBERRY.

 
 
Posted by eKafara Friday, Jan 20, 2012 128 days ago

Tons of talent on this site, shouldn't be hard to find someone that will be able to do this.

Good luck everyone, it will be great to see once finished.

"..#1 BlackBerry website in the world.."
No, in the Universe !!! I just LOVE those power words!
Next, guy wants (us) to build something he does not know what yet
for the OS which does not exist yet.
Considering it's a BB OS and knowing how RIM treats developers...
Keep on dreaming!

 
 
Posted by TomRedman Friday, Jan 20, 2012 128 days ago

Willing to pay to have a top-tier app developed? Developers should be so lucky!

Hi guys, I am from artistanbul, a brand management and consultancy agency from Istanbul-Turkey. We have been conducting different application development projects on Turkish universities in conjunction with RIM Turkey. Our main purpose is to create a developer ecosystem for BlackBerry by creating work groups and organize seminars in cooperation with the universities throughout Turkey. In order to make up the shortages on the part of BlackBerry; it is aimed for each work group to determine a developing project for BlackBerry Tablet OS (QNX) or BlackBerry smart phones. Within the scope of our project, we would like to develop your application with one of our work groups.
We sent an e-mail to you about your new BlackBerry App.. But we couldn't take an answer from you. We look forward to hear from you soon.
