[IDEA][DEVS NEEDED][Probably BOUNTY] Tumblr for Windows Mobile - First sketch!!!

The blogging-service Tumblr is really great but it would be even better if we had a mobile application (like the iPhone guys do).
I´m no developer myself but I hope someone could help. Of course I´m prepared to donate and I think others are as well.
[For users:]
If you are prepared to donate please post the amount you would donate, if the app delivers you needs and wishes.
[Bounty so far:]
20€ by me for a fully functional, good looking app.
10$ by hrhnick for full dashboard experience
[For devs:]
Here is the API documentation, seams like normal HTTP requests and some XML.
I could help with graphics as well (if needed). Here is a first sketch how the app could look like, I simply took the graphics from the official site and put them together in Photoshop.

def interested. i'd donate for the full tumblr dashboard experience. $10 USD

Maybe everyone adds the amount of money he/she is willing to donate!

Posted a first sketch of how the UI could look like. Basically I think a mobile app of a service that already exists should always resemble the look. I´m not sure how far my sketch is doable in reality (I´d say that depends on the dev ^^) but basic things like the logo or the colors are realistic.

Screenshot from the opensource app "OpenTumblr"
Its pretty much scaled to the right small factor, and runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Maybe a dev could port/modify it to PPC?

I don't use tumblr but any thoughts on using a java version? Here are two:

http://code.google.com/p/tumblrj/downloads/list

I hate Java...nevertheless I will try it, thanks for the tip.
EDIT: Ok, I did a bit of binging and found a Windows-client based on .NET; maybe this Open-Source app could provide the basis for a mobile .NET app!
http://feedfeast.com/wintumblr/

im so jealous with Iphone users because they have this app for free.. but i can still donate 10$ for using this apps.. this is the best UI that Tumblr client should have..

have now become opensource!
let the magic begin devs!
http://feedfeast.com/wintumblr

the bounty is too low
to be honest, no dev in the right mind will go for a mere 50 dollar bounty which asks for a full function. i'm writing one right now and to include the full dashboard experience with only a 10 dollar and 20 uero promise is crazy.i have better luck posting it in market place when its done later, even with cut down funtionality and sell it at 2.99.
update,
just studied the source for wintumblr and for the moment, i think an app for posting is totally achievable, but for an app with dashboard... might take longer.
now i have a working text and photo posting function. its enough for me. will post screenies from the device emulator later.

I tried both of the java ones on my HD2 and when it asks if I want to install, it attempts to then says the file is corrupt. :/

I can offer some help , basically I develop for .net3.5 framework , not for compact framework, but still. ojosdegris (at) gmail dot com

Is this project now dead?

i really wish they made a tumblr app for htc hd2

Take care ...

We have the surprise to see our thème on a site without ask or permission. We can call that " piracy methods".

Hi mobilecustom france host probex themes whitout a link to smartphonejunkie or giving credit all the attachments are hosted on there site whe have always providet link to your site and give full credit its freeware if you dont like your theme posted on ohterforums then dont releas them you guys making big deal out of this even banging or servers WHIT NOW RESULT when mobile custom fr better ***** I AM GONE POST THIS ON ANY SITE YOU POST THIS ONE AND SAYING WHE ASK MONEY FOR YOUR SKINS YOU LIE WHE DONT DO THAT

Its funny. Your ethics as a human. You lack being. You say we steal for what? Probex is way better then anyone you have. Any day of the week. Your creations are posted on the internet making them public domain. We do not steal as you claim. Any thing our members ever post on spj. Has been and is monitored to have full throwback to authors' site post originated from.Nothing is hosted on our site. but as our Sr admin weesje pointed out you Take probex work. change file names and all. Then host his work. Come on i call it like i see it.You are in the Wrong.....then you try to attack our site? thats why ips were banned.the ones hammering us.don't act like you didn't.I got your ips from it.Your attempt failed.But mine didn't now did it...As both your sites went down. All i need to say on that. respect is given until lines are crossed.Communication is the key to any confrontation. With your mind train the world would be a messed up place. Next time hand this like men.
Sincerely Your friendly neighborhood
Kaos Head Sr. admin

lol If it isn't im sure probex give credit. As for what they repacked and reposted it was. Bottom line.Just know this what was done is done.Probex is signed by ms for his tf2 themes for work of tp2.. All his work .Including what they repacked is copywrite protected. By ms. Lawyers are already on it.what was done was wrong majorly on other partys end. That has been proven. Mod can close this thread.

lol Lawers when authorisation is given , translation too was authorised
don't speak when you don't know
see my preceding answer or probably like modos on SMJ you see only what you want to see
credit is given to probex : see in the titles : By PROBEX , or you are blind when it is not your writing
Totallly stupid discussion , no sense with you
XDA's people will appreciate :

Thread closed by request of OP.

Dude, why do you have a pic of your gf in your signature? If she is so special aren't you afraid that the government might catch wind of her, and take her away to some super-secret-special laboratory?

I like how people can't really read. This is a general section for dream and promoting a social community for dream and magic users outside ofxda would fall under general.
It's just something fun to do.I personally met one person fromxda dream on cod4 and actually talking about what's new in the dream section or giving advice is actually a lot better thru voice.

Bought it at Launch last night. It was worth it, stayed up till 2 a.m. playing. Had to get up at 6 a.m. for classes.
I'm on the 360 though, if you are to, hit me up. My GT is Wisefire93.

what do u mean? i pretty much made it clear that this belongs in general as i am promoting a social community outside of xda mainly for dream and magic users... u just dont know how unbelievably easy it is to chat online PSN (or XBL)with other xda dream n magic users and to share new info found with roms n new update.

And the PC version is really nerfed I'm probably going to have to buy it from Steam today, though.

I know this is kinda old, but I just got the game. So, if anyone wants to play on XBL, hit me up.
Gamertag: CBC Bomber (lame, I know, it's my temp name until I can get some $$$ to reactivate shizzlebiscuits)!
Also, I'm not GREAT, as I just got the game, so excuse my suckiness

How much data can you actually obtain from an app/game?

I mean in terms of user habits. Can you:
- find out when the user is using your app/playing your game
- where they are geographically located (assuming they accept this prior to install)
- what the user has done in your game/app (as in what level they are at for games, or what data they searched for in your app)
- how often they click the banner ads in your app (if you own the banner ad for example)
- which banner ads they click (if you own the banner ad for example)
Thanks for your time guys!

yes, and that's not even the tip of the iceberg.

lol, nice pic.
so any anyone shed some light or recommend any articles which would tell me what type of info an android app can take ?
or a iphone app for that matter.

i don't like the way this conversation is going. if your intentions were good, fair and honest, you'd be asking 'how to make this kicking app', not 'how to monitor my users'. the first bit comes before the second one. and the second bit is just basic knowledge that you'd use from the first one.

Im doing this because I am writing a research report on app privacy. I am a Ph.D student. I have no programming background to ever create an app. I am just trying to post on forums with knowledgeable people like this one to gain a bit more understanding of the privacy issues of the iPhone vs. Android.
If you would not like to post here, please feel free to PM me.
Thank You.

it's very simple. look at the docs for android, think how it could be used to monitor users, et voila. an app could have total access to the phone meaning all data that is on it could be monitored by an app. whether the user will use your app that wants all these permissions is unlikely and you really are asking a pointless question.
you are a phd student, i'll assume you can think for yourself, and so you sh/could be researching this for yourself by reading the docs (mind you, you will have to think though). no one is going to come out and say juicy things like "well, if you do this, you can get this info and this info and use it to do this" because it's probably going to be illegal. it's your paper, your credit, think man, think.

well, you need at least the basic understandings you'll gain from (again) reading the android documentation. it's open source, you could (heck) even read the source code.

Defcon video about privacy

Watch that (very informative), then maybe read:
Google Analytics
http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/
Flurry: company used by a lot of apps to do in-app tracking
http://www.flurry.com/product/analytics/index.html
Maybe check out AdMob's site too.
My site - 13 page permission guide
http://alostpacket.com/2010/02/20/how-to-be-safe-find-trusted-apps-avoid-viruses/
Also Android Police is a decent site for security news (IMO).
I also just released an app that's a guide for people new to Android about permissions but I dont think I'm supposed to link to it here.
Google "PocketPermissions" and some links should turn up to read about it if you want.

Yeah, to encourage people to try without having to buy - it's a weird psychological thing, people won't spend $0.99 on an app they're not sure about, but will happily put down $3.99 for a cup of coffee that might not be that good tasting
One suggestion would be to just include a few topics (50?) and no search, favorites, share etc. But you're the best judge of what you think might be enought to give a taste but still encourage some portion to lite users to buy the full version.

Thanks, this is interesting.
The app is now completely free. You propose to have two versions? We thought of it before launching, but went for the full and free version. We wanted to see how many people who downloaded it. I think you're absolutely right. People are willing to pay "a lot" for a cut coffee that might not be that good tasting, but not that much for an good app. We monitor the situation and evaluate continuously.
By the way, here are som pictures of the app. Do you have some comments on the app as well? Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback. Which Android version are you using? We have not received any similar feedback. Did you try to start the app again and let it load finish?

4.3 - I launched a few times and it crashes immediately every time.
