I’m fresh blackberry application developer. I want to create some new and creative blackberry application which can be used in enterprise application. But I don’t have a clear idea about how to start and which idea i can take and proceed.
- If you have any idea about how to start and create a new application?
- From where we can know about existing ERP application for blackberry?
- Other than enterprise application in which field we can focus in blackberry application developement?

New ideas generator
There are several good methods how to come up with new ideas:
Mix up. Take two apps, technologies, whathever, and mix up them. Ex: take photo, add gps, put on Google Earth – voula, Panoramio. Or game + email. Or clock + gps. etc.
Port. Yes, maybe there is something on iphone, wm, or even better, J2ME what you woul’d like to port to BlackBerry. Of course, with all BB specific, and maybe with some tuneup.
BlackBerry Game Development Tips – Not Just Another Port!
What you need from BB? If your friends have BB, ask them, what app they would find useful on BB. It’s great if you write something for youreself, test it, use it for a time, making it perfect, and then bring it to the world.
Mobile client. Take a look at all social/svn/wiki/tracking etc network services, sure some of them may have a BB mobile client. Just like this:
Are there any RIM Blackberry clients for Jira?
Good old stuff. Maybe some old digger game? Or FAR manager? It may be crazy, or not. Just remember that it’s BB mobile, and remember what it can.
System utilites? How many there are for BB? Is there a need?
BTW, O’Reilly’s Mind Hacks is nice.
And of course when you will have an idea about app, search in google, if it’s not created yet.
Have a fun coding 😉
