I was just reading on Raanan’s blog that after the success of Wordpress for the iPhone, Automattic is now looking for a full time mobile engineer/developer. From their job page, it looks like they are hoping to develop open source mobile products for multiple mobile platforms including the BlackBerry!!! If you develop for multiple mobile platforms or know somebody who does, they may want to apply.
