Here’s a little infographic I made about weather in Newfoundland

It’s been a busy weekend! I’ve managed to submit an update for the iPhone version of Whaddaya App, which will be available whenever it’s approved by Apple, that includes:

• 22 new sound clips
• Audio fixes for people who were having trouble with the volume
• New bottle cap button which now includes Labrador
• Removed the cigarette

I’ve also submitted the Blackberry version for approval to RIM. I’m not sure how long the approval process will take and hopefully it goes smoothly. If so, all you Blackberry users will be talking like a Newfie soon!

I’ve been working on the Blackberry version of Whaddaya App for a couple days now, and it seems to be running fine within the emulators on my computer. The next step is running it on an actual Blackberry device, which is a little problematic due to the fact that I don’t own a Blackberry.

A friend of mine loaned me an older curve, but unfortunately it was a little too and can’t be used to test the app. (Blackberry devices running OS 6 and up will be able to run the app, anything below that isn’t supported, sorry!)

I’ve figured out how to compile the app using the tools within the Blackberry SDK, and I’ve sent it to a family member who’s going to test it on his device. Fingers crossed! Once I see it running properly on a few different Blackberrys, I’ll be ready to release. 

After a good night of playing around with some of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK, I’ve been able to whip up a version of Whaddaya App for BlackBerry. There’s still a little bit of work left to be done, and a whole lot of testing, but hopefully I’ll have it on the BlackBerry App World soon!

Just over a week ago myself and some friends released an iPhone/Android app called Whaddaya App. It’s a soundboard that translates Newfie-speak into english. It’s awesome. We’ve sold over 4700 copies so far, been featured on two local radio stations and have an article appearing in The Telegram this Saturday.

We’ve been #1 in the Entertainment category for several days now, and have been popping into the overall Top Ten iPhone app, currently sitting at #10. It’s been a wild ride so far!
