I’m beginning to like coding in Blackberry since now an official JDE for Mac is available. Then I decided to have a look and prepare myself for some rather annoying but pleasant surprise from Blackberry’s JDE. To be honest, I don’t like Blackberry’s behavior of complicating simple things. But then I learned a lot from the codes. Urbanesia is a location based service and therefore location is very important.

Elsewhere in the world, people are capped by the Megabytes of data they send and receive. [Read More]

This is my premier mobile blogging post. I must say I didn’t expect Wordpress to create its own Blackberry application. I was quite disgusted with Wordpress’ email-to-post feature. Just didn’t seem mobile enough lol. With the enormous growth of Blackberry users in the world (particularly in Indonesia), I guess Wordpress doesn’t mind a bit of Java coding to grab a piece of the pie. Anyways, I haven’t dissect the application thoroughly. [Read More]
