They will connect and communicate with each other through local network wifi, one on one.
Very simple/boring interface on Blackberry side is fine, nice interface on Playbook side. We require full source, full ownership, and sign-off that no source code copyright by someone else was used.
FUTURE PROJECTS:
-Do a good job on this test project for a good price, and we will have larger projects for you.
OPPORTUNITY:
-Do a good job on this test project for a good price, and we will have larger projects for you.
-A tip to help win with your bid? Don't give us template responses, show that you actually read this message and know what you are quoting on. Also, give us a screen snapshot of an something you have done for Blackberry or the Playbook.
REQUIREMENTS:
-Fixed price quotes a must, plus mention your hourly rate for additional feature requests.
-Works on any Blackberry with wifi (negotiable, otherwise at least version 4.5-6.0).
-Doesn't drain battery too much
-You do NOT have to build anything on the server (we will do that)
-Blackberry phone app must be native, Playbook side can be anything that will work for these needs.
How they connect the first time:
-Blackberry:
-open a connection to a specific https URL (the server)
-sends wifi local IP address
-receives two GUIDs and a 6 digit code
-displays the 6 digit integer on the screen
-Playbook:
-display keypad to input a code
-open a connection to a specific https URL (the server)
-sends the code to server
-receives two GUIDs and IP address of the blackberry
-opens encrypted wifi connection to blackberry
-sends one GUID (and the playbook's title) to blackberry, and another back to authenticate
How they connect afterwards:
Almost same thing but we skip a few steps.
On a failed or unauthorized connection, a popup is seen on both devices.
Blackberry:
-interface can look boring and plain (cheap).
-can type a message
-can see most recent message only (no history and no conversation display)
-options menu:
-lists tablets: tapping allows removing a tablet from the authorized list (which notifies server)
Playbook typing mode:
-top: shows conversations so far for this conversation
-middle: the message being typed
-bottom: the usual playbook keyboard
-interface should look as nice as Playbook's email application
Playbook options:
-checkbox: beep when a message has arrived
Payment system:
-allows for 2 day free trial
-uses blackberry's payment system to activate
HOW TO QUOTE:
1. private message me back your quote
2. Include your contact info
3. Include answer to: Do you have any past Playbook or Blackberry apps to show your quality?
2. Include answer to: How long will it take you to build?
I'd love to help you because this is right up my alley. But I just don't have the free cycles. If you dont get a good answer, consider checking with the GURU(dot)COM website.
Perhaps I didn't make it clear that I'm offering to pay money for a contractor. Are there really no app developers out there that want to gain experience AND make money... everyone wants to just take all the risk and build their own apps?
