Evernote: Your BlackBerry client is an embarrassment
I can’t believe it even qualifies as to be called a ‘client’. Sort it out Evernote. I’ve been patient for a long time. Developing on BlackBerry isn’t a sodding black art. Three times I’ve gone to look something up with the piece-of-shit 1995 BlackBerry client and had to stand about while the app loads the [...]
9 questions for RIM’s Sanyu Kiruluta, EMEA developer team lead
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sanyu Kiruluta quite often. She oversees the BlackBerry Developer Relations team in EMEA for RIM.

Tamoggemon release first Qt-based Symbian game, JezzBall
I had a note in from Tam Hanna of mobile developers, Tamoggemon, to tell me they’ve launched their first ever Qt-based Symbian game. This is one to remember — the first ever Qt-based game release that I’ve been sent. I hope it’ll be one of many. The game is called BallZ and its a port [...]
Samsung Bada: Is it impressing developers?
I am sat amongst the creme of the UK’s mobile developer talent. There is a significant amount of beards in evidence so I know I’m amongst the developer elite.

AppsFire has had enough; withdraws from iTunes App Store
AppsFire, the app discovery service has decided to pull it’s app from the iTunes App Store citing quite a few different issues, most notably the fact that it took months for the app store team to respond to some of their queries. I like the AppsFire concept, I really do. Although it is particularly complicated [...]

Juniper Research has been looking at mobile application stores in depth. You can get the report here. I’m pleased that the report points out that it’s not all about the iPhone. Obviously with 4 billion downloads to April 2010, the iTunes App Store is a monster, but, as Juniper point out, brands and developers shouldn’t [...]

Congratulations to the team behind the Clarityn Hayfever application which we covered on The Application Review last week. The application has knocked back a highly respectable 72,000 downloads in just two weeks (or roughly 5,500 per day). I know mobile developers who would kill for 5k downloads a month, so kudos.
