ballwall writes "We've all read the stories about how lucrative selling apps on the iPhone can be (or not), but what about other platforms? BlackBerry accounts for twice as many handsets shipped as Apple, according to Gartner, so I decided to find out. I wrote about my experiences developing my first BlackBerry application including sales, platform issues, and a bunch of other things I thought new mobile developers might want to know about."

    Having to pay for even one ssh client is pretty absurd in the first place. Only in the apple ecosystem would anyone contemplate paying for an ssh client.

    Why, is a SSH client particularly easy to write? I demand a free SSH client now, who do I speak to?! Will you make a free SSH client for me? Snap to it, it's my right to have a free SSH client on platform ${FOOBAR}, why is everyone so lazy? Can I pay you in pocket lint, because I'm out of dollars.
