Got an App Idea? Closed: Winners Selected
7 Apps Selected! Winners Are:
Update for everyone. You can monitor the app status list here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...0E&output=html
The results have been tallied. Originally I intended to work on 1 app. I've decided on 7 apps I will start work on right away.
That means we have a:
- First place winner ($50)
vgwillm, medical diary.
- A second place winner ($15)
joe.blow2, panoramic camera
- And a third place winner ($5)
roboticgolem, (private/email req.)
In the file above, the 7 apps I've decided for the first push are marked with a "DO" in the column N.
I will use this source code to generate more apps later. The reason i chose vgwillms idea is because its a good cause. The source could be used for several other apps. And because it frees up time to fit a few more in. I hesitate to take on too many large apps until next month with OS2 - because if RIM or other can do it better, it makes sense to wait. Great ideas folks and i will use this as a bucket list. when i return to any of these apps i will message you to discuss. i highly highly recommend other devs do the same. Anyone who wants to collaborate on the list just let me know.
Please take the list with a grain of salt, I sat down and went through each item and tried to be clear about why I chose them. Thanks for being patient folks and great suggestions. I will pick the top three very shorty and send out the PayPal presents :)

<former text preserved below>
I know lots of people want new apps for the PlayBook! But everyone wants something a little different. So, now is the time to contribute to developement in a brand new way and make some money while you are at it.
Got an app to suggest?
I have some free time coming up and I'm looking to work on some new applications. I wanted to try something new that might be fun for everyone. So here's the deal I'm proposing:
Suggest your ideas if you want an app created (information below). Or, if you are a developer who wants to jump in and help someone with an app, reply to this thread about which application you want to help with and I'll make sure you get recognition.
Submitting suggestions:
- Submit your app idea (one or two sentences is best) as specific as possible.
Ex: An application that can edit HTML files for web design.
- How much to sell it for and the proposed split
Ex: $0.99. 60/40, Requestor gets 40%
More details:
- You should submit a max of 3 ideas (make it the best!)
- Avoid third-party formats when possible (i.e. Netflix)
- You will become the designer during the making of the app (expect questions!)
- It needs to be done within 1 month
- I can dedicate ~1 hour a day (~30 hours)
- Apps can be cross platform
- You need a PayPal account (so, I can pay you your share!)
- It is best if you can side-load applications to test it during the building process. Info can be found here.
To spice this up: I'll send the winning applicant $50 on PayPal when the application is sent to the AppWorld.
Note: You can send me ideas in private if you want (if I get too many emails I might not reply to them all... I will try) but if you post them here to the group you will have better visibility to other developers and might pick up a different (better) developer.
Target is to pick a winning submission by Friday :)
