Will there be a YNAB for Blackberry?

I have a Blackberry and would like to know if there are any plans to develop a version for the Blackberry. Thanks.

Hi Dakan,

I have a Blackberry myself and would love a YNAB app for it but there isn't one currently in development. The same holds true for the Android platform and others.

I am not sure why everone is making iphone apps...and now driod apps....and skipping the blackberries. The blackberry has a far larger market share than either of those. I would buy a blackberry app....

We are currently looking into options for development that will allow us to target multiple platforms with a single codebase, including Android and Blackberry.

Please let us know if you find a nice solution. As a mobile developer myself, I'm trying to decide if I want to use plain old C along with the Android NDK to allow (most of) my code to be shared between Android and iPhone.

We're actually considering this: http://www.appcelerator.com/
If it does what it claims, we wouldn't have to rewrite it for every platform...

Of course, AIR is also coming to Android, so that is another option... :)

Hmm, Appcelerator looks like exactly the kind of intermediate code-generation tool Apple recently promised to ban from the iPhone. (The Appcelerator forums are full of doom-and-gloom predictions for exactly this reason.)

Their apps are being approved still, so it looks like Apple was targeting Adobe specifically with that. Still, we already have an iPhone app, so I wouldn't plan on using Appcelerator to replace that codebase. It's the rest of the mobile platforms that concern me, and I don't foresee them making such rules.

Oh - a mobile app to run on blackberry would be just perfect. I sooooo miss not having a syncable app on my phone like I did with my old account software (however, YNAB far outshines it's functionality in all other ways) - if you get this mobile app going then you will have the perfect package.

Taylor, any update on when additional mobile apps can be expected? My wife and I are both BBerry users and would love the syncing capabilities, etc... We have Sprint, so an I-Phone isn't even an option.
Thanks!

I haven't checked in the App Store but would YNAB run on an iPod Touch? Lots of BB users have iPod Touches to scratch the App itch :)

Yes, it runs on a touch.
