Hello All,
I am starting this thread to start making this program for those who need a stock market application that actually gets all the information you need about your tickers, like: P/E Values, News, Graphs and so on.
All the currently available WONDERFUL applications out there get data from something like Yahoo finance,TF3D Stocks Tab... They work, but all have the following limitations:
You can only get tickers that belong to the US market, where bloomberg can get you ticker information of almost all stock markets on the globe
The data we receive from sources other than bloomberg, are limited to current stock price, its value change and sometimes graphs. Where from bloomberg, you can get all details, like current selling and bidding prices, value traded, P/E values, news, graphs and many more.
Anyone here is welcome to help in or fully develop this application. Currently, bloomberg offers this application for free on iPhones, and people like us, who proudly own a WinMo device, have to pay thousands to get an application from bloomberg themselves and which "MAYBE" has the information mentioned above. So why not make it here. For free, as a proof of concept If you know what i mean.
Suggestion on ideas of how the program would be developed:
I have to check how the sites deals with data, are there any XMLs or what exactly.
Build a basic application that gets these data as needed into an ugly interface.
Find someone here in the community that is willing to help in creating a better interface. Maybe something like the great "TickerTape" program.
Expected Limitations:
The bloomberg site would have no XML data flowing freely for us to fetch. Therefore, this means the program will have to run as a parser.
(ex. Fetch the HTML that bloomberg returns, get it as a string into the application, parse it as needed, and display the values from that HTML. (Problem here is the 30K+ size of this HTML where we actually would need only a couple of bytes.)

I recently got a Cingular 8525 and really want the threaded features that the Palm application seems to provide. I've looked around a little bit and found nothing compelling for free or for sale. Everything I've seen so far is bloated (.NET), buggy, or ugly. No offense intended.
I'm proficient in C++ and have written some PPC 2003 applications in the past so I'm going to roll my own program in my free time.
These may not all be possible but my goals for the first release are:
Plays nice with Pocket Outlook (messages and their state (new, read appear in both places)
Integration with Notifications (display message and launch application in the usual manner upon receipt of a message)
Integration with Contacts application
Proof of concept design (SMS only, minimalist interface)
I'll then post it and the source code and see what additions and visual enhancements poeple want most.
First:
All I've seen of the Palm application are some screenshots on engadget. Would someone with the Palm application be willing to send me a series of detailed screen shots showcasing their favorite UI features?
I can tell when a UI is done well and when an application looks good, but I'm no good at coming up with stuff myself.
I only ask about UI features now to help me architect things in a way to make help me more easily implement features people want later.
Second:
Are any developers out there able to point me in the right direction for the Pocket Outlook and Contacts integration stuff? I'm currently reading a ton of documentation searching for this and a pointer might speed things up considerably.
Finally:
If there's already an open project doing the same thing I'd rather improve that than make my own. Does anyone know of one?
the official palm messaging app has been extracted and ppl have been working on getting it to play nice with most wm5 devices. check out:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/palm-threaded-sms-program-for-wm5-beta-4-update-11-21-t978.html
This is where all the action's going on. you can get a copy of the app by PM ing the ppl there. It works very well with the TyTN and interfaces very nicely.
anyone have any more screenshots of the palm messager? I'ld like to see it before i take the plunger
Take the plunger, lol...
Found these on another site. Remember tho, Palm has asked us not to distribute the app. Please respect their authority

Hi all, this is my first time to write a post here, I need some testers for the application I am developing - WMOptimizer, it's basically a tweaking application for Windows Mobile. I know there's already some tweaking applications like XperiaTweak, Tweak2k2, and DiamondTweak for WinMo tweaking purposes, but I intended to make WMOptimizer finger friendly and visually appealing. Maybe this two enhancements are optional to most users out there, as functionalities are most important of all, but I want to test my ability of using .NET Compact Framework to make an application that is generally acceptable by the public.
I'm a international student studying in Australia Queensland University of Technology, the reason why I'm developing this application is because I want to try and sharpen my own programming skill and if possible add this into my port folio/resume, as an international student from Malaysia, a strong resume is very important, I hope to use this opportunity to strengthen my resume.
I've opened a wordpress blog for this application, http://wmoptimizer.wordpress.com/, I will post the most recent updates of this application there.
WMOptimizer v0.0.0.1 can be downloaded at my Skydrive here, please leave a comment here about the application.
It's developed in WVGA resolution, because I only have one WinMo device, Xperia X1, so it's my only option, please try the application using other WinMo devices and let me know the results and what you think about this application, thank you so so so much!
You can contact me via leaving a comment on wmoptimizer.wordpress.com or email me [email protected]

i tried it seems to be very promising however in present state not very useful .
When more features are added, I'm willing to try it out. I don't think it will be ground-breaking, as for instance Schap's Advanced Config can do this already, and so much more..
Keep going on your good work mate! Seems very promising !
promising but not that useful considering the lack of features. your next version should have the majaority of whats in advanced config 3.3
Since many Android apps lack any visual awesomeness, I am willing to help most developers create themes or concept designs of their apps in Photoshop.
Some of my work.
Please PM me or post here!
Here is a mock up I made for a supposed Twitter application:

Can you draw sprites for games?
Well, I am not actually good at character design, I meant like UI/GUI designs for twitter, social, messaging, home replacements and that kind of applications
*Edit - although I may be able to, I have a Wacom tablet for a reason... lol. I just haven't tried yet.
Do you charge? if so how much?
Depends on how much work you need done. And it might be free if theres only a little bit of work and I get the app free. Sounds fair enough?
If you have any questions, discuss pricing, amount of work, deadline with me on my IM...
AIM - [email protected]
MSN - [email protected]
Yahoo - [email protected] (email here too)
If you need estimates tell me how much work.
*Not really in it for the money I will earn, but for the development of Android itself.*
Basic estimates:
*Couple of pieces of GUI for the app* -Free, but I want the Application free.
*Whole concept, design, and creation of the entire interface* - $25-45 based on complexity
*Icon(s)* - Free for basic icon, but want App. Many icons, around $10-50 based on amount and complexity
*Concepts* - $15-25
*Everything GUI (Icons, themes, styles, interface)* - $60-100
Will you do it for iPhone apps too?

Sure. I have a spare 3G laying around... why not? I hope you mean iPhone app "GUI" not coding them as i have no idea how to code at all.
Lets talk about it if you are interested.
Ok, this ain't really a developpement post [sorry for that!] but I'm sure that, like for me, it will makes you real glad to be an Android user.
I kindly invite your to read this thread:
http://technaute.cyberpresse.ca/nou...urdhui-sur-cyberpresse_267_article_ECRAN1POS2
it is in french, but if you like to call yourself a dev, then I'm sure you know how to use a webpage translator .
In short: iphones and ipad are kepping unsecured data of all your geo-localisation on your phone and any computer that you synch to.
Isn't this hughe and nice of them !!??
So attention all of you cockold of this world, Apple with all it's kindness is making your life easier to confirm your status.
hehehe!
Big writeup today on Tech Republic as well. If iOS was open source they could rip it out like when Sprint CIQ was ripped out of the Epc 4G. Thanks K0nane!

Is that true? Does anyone know where is that database stored in Android?
And even if this data is being recorded, wouldn't it be possible to fix it as Android is open source?
Its stored on google's servers and yes you can turn this off on the android so none of the applications can track you! Killing your gps/3g/and data means they cant track you there are even anti gps apps that will tell them your in some other country. So just because some apps can doesnt mean they always do like on iOs. Its all about what apps you have installed really and what they're doing the easiest way to see this is with adb....adb logcat command while your phone is plugged in usb. Youll see google services running calling on your gps location and data collection you can see the code its plain as day!
Heres an old ss i had of what it looks like!↓↓↓

What the guy said below me is not true but hey whatever you want to believe... They store your data because its worth money plain and simple...
Its worth money to marketing and analytical firms! Google knows more about you than YOU do!
They know your darkest secrets whatever you typed into google they know...
They've even developed software to collect and categorize all of it... So saying that Google is the devil LoL

If you sign up with someone's referral link, both you and the person who's referral link you used get 5GB of extra space.
If anyone would like a win-win situation, here's my referral link
(By the way, you do actually need to download and install the desktop/mobile app before you get the extra 5GB of storage)
The News:
If I said you could have 5 GB of online storage for free, with the option to earn a bit extra by persuading others to sign up; be able to share you files publicly, and could sync files straight from the Ubuntu desktop – what would you say?
‘De ja vu’, probably.
Copy, a relatively new entry into the ‘cloud storage’ service arena, has a very apt name. Aside from supporting Linux out of the box from day dot the rest of its offerings are, sadly, fairly predictable.
Services like Copy are fast becoming to cloud storage what the ‘netbook’ became to the PC sector: great implementations that all look a bit different, but offering little in the way of differentiation where it matters. Same old, same old.
That’s not to say that Copy is a bad service – because it isn’t. It does exactly what it claims to. You can:
Sync files and folders from the desktop
Access files online
Share files publicly and privately
Its “social referral” offer – whereby you convince someone else to sign up using a special link – is actually really generous (see chart at bottom of post) in comparison to its rivals. Copy gets points for that.
On the ‘cons’ side the privacy and security policies safeguarding your data aren’t quite as robust as competitors; it can’t auto-sync; and the app gives no indication/notification that a file has completed syncing.
Tl;dr: If you’re already using Dropbox, Ubuntu One or Google Drive you aren’t missing out on much by not switching. At least not yet.
Getting Copy
Copy offers 5GB of storage for free (in return for an e-mail address). Desktop apps are available for Linux, Mac, Windows, Android and iOS.
