Since this is the place for ideas and understanding that not all ideas are workable, I have one.

What would it take to make simple software for Blackberry phone users. Applications that they could use on the fly. Such as software that tracked daily spending or daily dietary intake. Or, daily exersize. Anything that a bunch of people with more time and money than they know what to do with might purchase to use on their expensive phones.

Or, would this fall into the pit of proprietary use only?

I think the software would need to be coded in a different format for smartphones / blackberries...no?

It might mean creating an online version of a software and posting it on a .mobi site.

oh never heard of that ability before


so does that site take desktop software that works online and it make it suitable for mobile usage?

I am sure there are many ways to make a site for online phones. But, I converted one of mine this morning using XsitePro. Such sites are edited to make them more readable on a tiny screen. Backgrounds are usually taken out as are fancy fonts. The images are reduced in most of these sites.

I am looking at creating website like the software. It will be in asp.net but will work similar to how you are building your software. It won't happen to late next year if it is possible.


Mobile phones will be something to target for websites.
