How about a small app that will allow you to set default different keyboards based on screen orientation

Example: I LOVE Swype when I'm in portrait mode because of the one hand operation but when I'm in landscape mode I find the HTC keyboard more convenient.

I want a good baseball game scores, standings, and stats app. I have yet to find one with a nice usable interface, that uses minimal resources, with clean, well done text and graphics.

doing a subway transit app or sports app may be a bit to much for me right now. i'm brand new to the developing game.

thanks for the suggestions though.

oh, also whats wrong with sportstap or google scoreboard?

This won't tell you the 'times' but if you can find a route map it could fill the need until something else comes along:

i am hoping to develop some android apps very soon. my dad is a software developer for IBM. he was on the front lines when java was new and has been working with java ever since. he has offered to help teach me java and we will be developing apps together. we have an idea for an app he wants to make but i am drawing a blank trying to think of other good ideas of what to make.

so if anybody has any ideas, i'd like to hear them.

My biggest disappointment with the Droid is its terrible reminders system. When I finally gave up the Palm Tungsten I'd relied on for years, I was surprised to find it harder to keep up with appointments and other reminders on the whiz-bang new technology.

MissedCall helps a bit, but its developer hasn't finished the job. I want reminders to give me these simple choices:

• Cancel the reminder
• Ask to be reminded again, with two ways to set the new reminder
  • In X minutes/hours/days
  • X minutes/hours/days before the event
• Go to the event that triggered the reminder so I can edit it as I like

By "event", I don't mean only a calendar entry. That may be the big challenge in this project: any app can trigger a reminder, so somehow a reminder-trapper has to be able to determine which app did so and launch that app with the trigger event selected. But the most common events come from the calendar, which hopefully has the API to make all this possible.
