First of all Happy New Year stackers, I am extremely happy to report that Remember the Milk is being actively developed as we speak and the developer and myself need some help with suggestions and ideas of what BB Rtm will end up being. Right now the backend stuff with the API is being worked out and this week the GUI is coming to life, when the time comes we'll open the beta to the general public and before that we'll have a small alpha test group.

Devices Supported
_______________

I personally have 3 BB, an 8700C, 8800, and 8300 all running OS 4.2 and the developer and 8830 so we'll need someone with a Pearl on 4.2 because initially that's going to be the OS supported, perhaps in the future OS 4.1 will be supported but we'll keep you guys posted here.

because this application has a lot of following the developer is asking for $100 because RIM API's requires the code to be signed to actually install the application on the Blackberry, so right now the its being tested on the simulators again this is a direct quote from the developer, I am sure that coming up with the aforementioned amount will not be a problem, we'll setup a paypal account, which I will post here so we can funnel the contributions here, the folks that help us raise this small amount, will receive the application BB Rtm for free with a corresponding license for life. Guys, this application is going to rock your world, the cost of the application is going to be somewhere in the ballpark of $19.99-$24.99 once its publicly released so its a good time to get in on the action.

If you are familiar with RTM then you'll know that they have an iPhone version available for the PRO users and we are planning to offer similar functionality.

So to the conclude this initial post, make sure you post everything related to this application on this thread not to loose track of the all the important comments that will come our way.

thanks for your donation.

****Correction the price for the BB Rtm client****

I just received an official email from Emily, one of the developers of RTM, and since the API of RTM is available publicly its gotta be for non commercial use, so the price for the Blackberry client will be FREE but we still need your contributions to meet our goal of $100, that's not to say that you'll probably have to sign up for RTM Pro, please refer to www.rememberthemilk.com for details on the PRO version.

Things just get better and better ah

[kkwus74]

Thats great news

[jorgeg.ledes]

***Great news again, just got another email from the folks at RTM since we're developing this application, its gonna be totally free you won't have to sign up for the RTM Pro version, so all we need is another $75.00 more dollars to get this show on the road, thanks to all the folks that have donated so far.

[kkwus74]

you are welcome

[jorgeg.ledes]

Guys, the development is going well

[bonebox]

That's great news jorgeg! Thanks for helping make this a reality!

Is this going to be a google-sync type app that syncs RTM tasks with the native BlackBerry tasks, or a full-fledged stand-alone app? Either way I assume it will stay in sync with the web RTM? If the latter, please make sure they implement some type of notification system, either via pop-up window similar to the native BB tasks, or even a small icon in the notification area, ala Facebook for BB and similar apps (and preferably integrated with Profiles).

[jorgeg.ledes]

Thanks, we really needed this application, its going to be a stand alone application and profile management is something that is being planned.

I have a BB Pearl 8100 OS 4.2.0.67
I've just signed up for RTM after hearing about it SO many times on Lifehacker, but didn't want to manage it on my phone AND online! Sounds like you're offering the perfect solution..

I'll hold my hand up to volunteer for testing if it's going! Otherwise do keep us updated on developments here, if it's as good as everyone seems to say it is it'll certainly be worth upgrading to Pro!

Thanks,

Jamie

Excellent, although with this version we're developing you won't have to upgrade to the Pro version, testing has not started as of yet but we're hoping to begin an ALPHA version tonight just a very small group as the application develops further we will invite people to the BETA release, but we will keep you posted here don't worry. And again let me reiterate, this application will be a stand alone application that will sync with Remember the Milk online and it will be completely FREE, yes zero dollars.

Rtm seems to be developing at a pace that leaves the competition behind, great integration with gcal, gmail, google gears and now the holy grail of a native blackberry app, I have one huge, huge, huge request, please make this work over BIS as well as TCP. Other suggestions are, keyboard shortcuts and add task from email, these are great bberry tricks. Cheers, good luck and if you need beta testers count me in.

Regards

Will

Hey Will, thanks for chiming in, yea the application is going to use the internet connection of the blackberry so it will work on BIS and you can already email task into RTM, just go to RTM on the web, settings and you'll find your specific email, create a contact on your address book, I call mine rtm and then just fire off tasks on the fly, its so sweet, use the subject line of the email for your task and paste the following template on your body:

Priority:
Due:
List:
Repeat:
Estimate:
Tags:
---
-end-

Copy it exactly as I have and you'll could put whatever list you want, due date, tag, etc. Is way cool, let me know if you need further help with this, cheers

[jorgeg.ledes]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~
For the template, this is my way of setting it up, go to autotext and create a new one, I call mine tt and use specified case and paste the template, cheers
