Hello Everybody,
I got the developers version of the Android Phone (ADP2) for Christmas, and have been seriously interested in programming some applications for it to release on the Android Market. After searching around for a little while for cube apps, I only found about 5 for the G2, of which one is a cube timer/scramble generator, and 4 are small cube apps (like gelatin brain/gabbasoft).
So my question to you guys is, what kind of apps could you imagine useful on a phone?
I was thinking maybe an app that did what CubingUSA's site does, and sends you a text when a competition is within X miles of you, or within you selected radius. Or an app that sends text messages to you when a WR is broken. Of course I do not know the limits of such an app yet, but I think it would be nice to get some input on what I could make before starting on one (that people may find completely useless).
Also, if we can think up some good apps, maybe I could find someone who can program apps for the Blackberry and iPhone/iPod and make similar apps available on each system.
Anyway, I am interested to see what ideas you come up with, and I am very interested in learning how to program apps for this.
Thanks, Chris
Edit1: I have not searched the iPod or Blackberry apps server so I do not know if more useful apps have already been made for those systems. I only know that there is a lack of serious cube apps for the Android.
