anybody have any ideas on what kind of apps they want made?

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?

I would LOVE a Boston Transit - subway and trains app

+1. Montreal too.

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:

Old project.. looking into it myself but if somebody else does it makes no difference...

Java bindings - VideoLAN Wiki

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.

what about an app that plays quicktime videos. i have a quicktime video of a star wars parody and would like to have it on my Droid

I want an app to unlock my car in case i lock the keys inside. I locked them in the trunk once and i was able to dial 1800mercedes and they unlocked the car via satellite. I no longer have the satellite available, but there must be a way to open it via droid or something since I can open it with the remote for the car.

I want a very simple one. A widget like the Beautiful Widgets controls that silences media volume. There are several apps out there that do volume profiles and whatnot. I just want to simply silence the media volume at will.

I knew I was forgetting something.... The most important feature missing from Google's reminders: nag me till I respond. The nag interval should be configurable. Users will also appreciate configurable no-nag times, e.g., "don't nag between 10PM and 8AM."

The idea is that a reminder should sound. If the user does not respond, it should sound again after a specified length of time. It should keep doing that a specified number of times.

Bells & whistles would include configurable nag tones and vibrate patterns; multiple nag configurations from which the user selects one of specific types of events; etc.

I will look into doing both of these. Thanks for the ideas.

I'm looking for a baseball scorebook app, I love to keep score during games and I also NEED it for my son's baseball games, he's on a travel ball team and plays every weekend. iscore is an amazing app that does this, but its only for the iphone. I contacted the developers and they refuse to do anything for the droid. Its baseball season and I guarantee that this app would sell. Build this ASAP please!!!

Lotus Organizer - Please make it SYNC

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.

I apologize if somewhere on this forum someone has already said this or asked for this...BUT, this was literally the first POST I saw and it seemed PERFECT for my frustration since his dad is an IBM developer. Here it is: I want a Driod, I love Lotus Organizer and won't stop using it; is there a way to SYNC with the Driod? The only thing keeping me from upgrading my current 7 year old phone is it WILL sync with Organizer...but I want a new phone damn it!! Please, post here and reply to my email: Droid@gotMECHANICALBULL.com

Thanks for any insight ANYONE can offer!

I would very much like an app that would allow me to use my droid as a remote or controller for the playstation 3 so I don't have to use that ginormous Sony remote to watch movies.
