Hi All,
We are working on a set of software tools for blackberry. The first version will be available for alpha testing within a few days. And I will need some alpha testers for the same.

The requirement will be OS 4.2 or higher and SD Card. We will give preference to people with technical background for alpha 1.

Only 2-3 people will be required for the first cut, so that we can iron out the silly bugs before opening the alpha to other users.

It is a work in progress and a lot of things will be added in due course. At present it supports:

1. Mail Folders
2. Rule based filtering
3. Spell Checking
4. HTML View

Screen shots are available at http://www.getempower.com/

PM me if you are interested.

PS: SD Card is preferred but not actually required for this version. However, some of the tools that we are developing will depend on it. Not having a SD Card will simply reduce their functionality.

I would be willing to test this out. I would love the spellcheck as you type feature. I have a 8830 4.2.66 w/ BES for work email and BIS for yahoo mail. Would love to separate out the two as well. Are you planning on doing any other enhancements such as rule based color text? I know this might be asking for alot but would be a nice feature if included, not even sure if its possible. Keep up the good work though.

The addition of folders and html view of email would be huge additions for me.

Rick, as I can see on their website both of these features are already there in Empower Email. I have requested a beta and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Looks as if it has got even more features than zainy products.

You will need to checkout their website to see the stuff for yourself.

I would be willing to test

Be glad to take a look. Sure do wish you would find some way to take advantage of the SD card such as saving attachments to emails but understand that seems not to be technically possible.

[phone_caller]

I would be excited to test this software.

[adwiv]

Thanks for the interest everybody.

I am cleaning up the code to enable easy install and expect to ship it to the first two alpha testers by tomorrow evening. If the installation goes fine with them, would release to more ppl soon.

I would love to help test it out once you get to the next stage (seeing as you have all the testers you need right now).

This program looks very interesting!

[someonexh]

I would be willing to test this as well.

IS the final app going to be for OS 4.2 or higher only? If so, it seems kind of limiting.

[maximax]

Unless they are making use of something 4.2 specific.. which I hope they are not..

Adwiv, I can understand you are in a different timezone, but whenever u read this, please reply.

[rkkeller]

I would be willing to test. I have the Pearl and an SD card.

[IanHummel]

Please add me to the list of testers, I am very eager to try out what looks to be a revolutionary product for the BB.

[Luckystrik3]

if you still need more, count me in. bb8800 on a bis

[Jinga]

I would be willing to test as well. I have an 8800 with a SD card.

The current version runs only on 4.2 & above. We did it so as not to have different codebase for SDCard and Non-SDCard blackberries. Also, 4.2 OS is available for a lot of older devices and would be available soon for others.

But I currently own a 8707g, and want this to work on it. So rest assured, you will see a 4.1 version pretty soon

adwiv, did you get my pm?
