Free Blackberry Playbook Part 1

Last week I released my first Android app on the Android Market and it has garnered a few downloads.  Recently RIM started a promotion to give away free Playbooks to developers who submitted their app to the Blackberry App World store.  Converting the .apk to the .bar file was very simple.  They provide an online tool that makes it simple or you can install the tools to sign and convert the .bar files in Eclipse.  Sadly as easy as it was to convert the app, it was just as hard to actually submit it.  So far I have received two rejections based on parts of the submission process that I failed to do properly.  These steps are not that clear, so hopefully they can add some clarity to this process.  Anyways....now I wait.  Lets hope for approval and also qualifying for the free tablet.

First Android App

So today after working on and off for about 3 weeks, I just released my first application on the Android Market.  You can find it Here.  Its just a simple utility to help keep score when playing boardgames or card games like Munchkin!  It was surprisingly easy going back to JAVA after spending most of my time in the .NET world.  I'm looking forward to making this app a bit more polished, and to my future applications.
