BlackBerry Developers + BBM SDK + Caffeine = Awesome BBM powered apps. At least that is what we are looking forward to from the RIM BBM Hackathon event here in NYC this week. The Hackathon begins tomorrow morning and will task the 30 handpicked devs to create the best BBM SDK powered BlackBerry smartphone apps. The competition is going to be very fierce with some serious developer talent heading to NYC today for the event tomorrow. We will be doing our best to cover the event but watching developers code is sort of boring until there is beta testing to be done. 🙂
While TJ won our BerryReview Hackathon we managed to get our two runner up contestants to also be included in the Hackathon. That means 3 devs will be representing BerryReview at the Hackathon namely:
- TJ – Mblware.com
- Eric Harty – Ebscer.com
- Marc Paradise – BBSSH.org
There are 27 other contestants coming to NYC but it should be interesting to see what comes out of this. We will keep you up to date as this develops.
Let us know who you are cheering for! Hopefully it is for Team BerryReview! 🙂
You can find the full list of contestants below. We will have more details about the contestants tomorrow.
