Project 3:
Blackberry or Windows Phone Development
Due: Monday Nov 22nd with hard copy paper due the following class for undergrads and soft copy paper by Wednesday for grads.
Summary: You will explore one
of the two remaining mobile operating systems in this last project and
get a true comparison by implementing your android application on
either Blackberry or Windows Phone 7.
Details:
You will write the same program once again on your choice of Blackberry of Windows phone 7.
Your program should check to see that you are in Bridgewater (the town
or the University at your descretion - but mention which in your paper)
during your assigned class time. If you are not, your program should
play a sound and give a visual remider to go to class. If you enter
Bridgewater, the visual notification and sound should cease.
Undergraduates should choose one of the two class periods to give the
reminder.

not more than about a half page
