Speaking at DevCon in 3 weeks
I’m speaking at the BlackBerry Developer’s conference in San Francisco in three weeks.
Here’s my session description:
New BlackBerry User Interface Elements
This session will provide an overview and demonstration of both new and updated UI elements introduced in BlackBerry® Java® Development Environment v5.0. We’ll look at the history of UI development for the BlackBerry solution, the challenge of developing user interfaces for the BlackBerry® platform, new UI elements such as rich components, containers, as well as APIs to enhance an application’s look and feel. Sample code and applications will be offered.
It sounds geeky I know. If you are a mobile developer for any platform, this conference is worth going to. Mobile devices are already a major platform to deliver live and relevant content. Your phone is with you wherever you go so eventually, your phone will know more about you than any other device or even person!

Those are all the entries to the contest.
A few standouts include:
#77 Deaf Skydiver: he jumps out a plane and uses his BB and he’s deaf. That’s certainly the most unique one.
#17 Scent of a BB: has special effects.
#33 Applecalypse: iphone zombies attack BB users.
They’ll slowly start announcing finalists starting today.
