    I have the WW on the Go on my PDA and got an email last month that they I can use it until the end of the year as long as I sync. Rumor has it that they are working on a program. I hope so because I am going to miss that program. Hopefully, they will work all the bugs out before they release it.

    Ok I see there is a points calculator but I'm really looking for a journal type thing that I can track my food with points daily. I have been searching but no luck for bb compatible.

    Ok, I found this website that I've bookmarked on my bb Weight Watchers Points Calculator that will let you calculate the points....as for the actual journaling, I figure I can open up a daily/weekly memo to do the "journaling"

    This is so cool to find out about this. I don't have a BB yet but I'm getting one is Sept (renewal time) and wife doesn't think it's necessary to get one. I talk to her pretty much every day about crackberry (im addicted and dont even own one YET). Told her that it just come in pink (8330). Informed her that it would be cool if we had BB's together. That's cute huh? lol. She just started weight watchers about a month ago. This will probably seal the deal for me. Wish me luck.

    It would be nice if Weight Watchers created a device specific app as well instead of their mobile web version. I know my mother and sister would both use it on their blackberrys

    I contacted their customer service to let them know this also! I don't like using their website either on my BB. I'm pretty sure the I phone has their own app for this I told them it would be nice if BB had one too

    You could probably get something going if you got a bunch of BB users to call/email in letting them know the people have spoken and they want a WW application.

    What would this WW app have to do? If someone could give me an idea, I might be able to whip something up.

    Oh, wait, strike that, the Weight Watchers formula is under copyright, I am pretty sure if I built an app against that they would sue me

    Frank-

    A weight watcher calculator and journal is available for the Palm on Handango and isn't a WW product.

    Think you could make it now? :-)

    Just an idea! ANYTHING would help!
    Thanks, Rhonda

    Ok, this is crude, but I whipped something up. I do not really plan to support it, I just present it as is. Now, if you like my work and want to donate you can do so at my web site:
    Home

    Any new functionality will be on a pay for new features basis - contact me and I will price them out based on difficulty. Do not donate and ask for new features please. Donations are for the existing effort in the app.

    Tha app should run on any device running OS 4.2.1 or greater except for the Pearl. The screen is just too small it seems on that device.

    Some features:
    Calculates points of foods
    Saves the foods by date
    Provides capability to email the data

    Now, the file should be cleared periodically or else it can get large, slow the app down and generally use a lot of memory.

    The emailed data can be cut and pasted into a text file withe a .csv extension and opened by Excel as well.

    The OTA link (and note the capitalization, the server is a Linux machine so capitals make a difference):

    Ok, so I said I would not support it, but there was an egregious bug that I fixed so if you somehow got the version 0.1, please update to v0.2 that is up there now.
