    Is there a way to download for an offline Storm?
    Come on LS, just use an OTA downloader the BBHybrids tool is great

    Yes lets wait till we get it in mobi, but that shouldn't take too long right? Looks GREAT so far. Both apps look good.
    I think as soon as you post it in mobihand you can generate a link to it, even though it doesn't show up by browsing the store...

    Ok guys here's my first release:

    Christmas Countdown Beta

    Visit from your phone.

    Features:

    - Banner notification with countdown
    - Full countdown in app
    - Dynamic snowflakes in app

    Coming later:

    - Full personalization of background image, volume of snow, overlay color
    - Toggling of banner notification
    - Popup notification at set time of day

    On Christmas day, this application removes the counter and just says Merry Christmas through to the end of the year.

    Once January 1st rolls around, the app will start over.
    AWESOME!

    It seems slightly quiet though - might I suggest some public domain Christmas music for the background? I'm trying to find some that allows use in commercial products, I'll post up if I find some.

    Now you guys can also access the link from your desktop. The same link posted (http://bberrygo.com/go/xmas-app) now displays a QR code for your convenience.

    Use App World or a similar QR code scanner to download the app.

    Prob is I have an 8330/4.5 on the air, and a 9530/5.0 off the air, so I can't seem to get the jad or cod. On the 8330 it just keeps saying HTTP error, or else goes to your main page.

    Thx...

    P.S. This works on 4.6 and up. If you have your Browser set up correctly, it'll download the right version for you.

    If not, choose between these two downloads:

    Christmas Countdown Beta

    Christmas Countdown Beta (for devices 4.7 and up)
    Thanks jc,
    Looks and works nicely.

    I'll get you a zip. I'm thinking of stopping dev on 4.5 since it's sooooo much easier to develop on 4.6+. No custom painting etc. and no real loss.

    Mine actually has a banner icon. If you look up at the top you should see the counter next to a present/gift box.

    Maybe there's some confusion. There are two apps.

    LSPhone is making one (sure to be good) as well as myself.

    Mine is located at:

    http://bberrygo.com/go/xmas-app

    LSPhone's (which is the one I believe you have) is located at:

    To answer your q from a few posts back JCQNS, the wish medley is kinda cool, and we wish you a merry christmas were pretty good.
    I like the wish medley better, but you'd only want to put part of it into the app lol.

    At 44 MB, I don't know lol. I don't even know where to clip it. What if the person wanted to leave the app open all day?

    Updated 0.8.1:

    - Hide and show banner indicator
    - Change volume of snow
    - Three different backgrounds are in the app and rotate on launch.

    http://bberrygo.com/go/xmas-app

    I will update the sizing for Curve (and Pearl) devices soon as well as add the popup reminder.

    Music will be last though.

    If you want I'll shrink it and try to find a place around 30 seconds or so to clip it so that it can just loop eternally, but still sound good for someone who wanted to leave the app open all day.
    Really any background music works for me, or even sound effects of wind or snow and sleigh bells or something like that.
