Blackberry 5.0 Developer

[Newstex]

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but we are looking for a contract developer to port our iphone apps to Blackberry 5.0. Any recommendations?

We will be using the native Java development kit for Blackberry OS 5 to integrate with existing systems. Developer will be re-creating our existing HTML5 based iPhone Applications on the BlackBerry platform. The application will be similar to existing Newstex mobile applications in the Apple itunes store. (Search Newstex or PR Newswire).

Requirements:
Java
SQLite
Java Web Technologies (HTTP Communication)
OpenGL Java Bindings

Helpful Skills:
BlackBerry (RIM) OS
HTML5
XML/REST

Developer must know Java and have familiarity with SQLite, Java Web Technologies and how to communicate with HTTP servers. Also have experience with User Interface development and OpenGL for Java. Familiarity with Java Mobile and BlackBerry (RIM) development will also be helpful.

This is a virtual telecommuting position so we need an independent worker who requires minimal daily supervision.
