So, maybe you’re one of many Canadians who hopped onto the Android boat after Rogers cut the price on the Dream and Magic to $99 on contract, and didn’t quite find all of the apps in the Android Market you were hoping to find. Well, now is your chance to rectify the situation; Rogers is running a contest through Facebook where you make a pitch for an app you’d like to see, participants vote on their favourite, and the winner gets their idea made a reality. In order to get started, just install the Facebook app and you can make your pitch in either voice or written form. Of course, I’m always a little fishy of Facebook applications since they pretty much all demand access to your profile information… The contest ends August 10th., so you’ve got some time to mull over your app ideas.

In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer.
