App World => Search => French Translator
3 options, all in the $30.00 range.
Need it in a hurry for contract details, didn't have the luxury of a pc to surf and find hte right app THEN sync it to blackberry.
You do know I tried to use the web for translations right? The blackberry browser made it insanely time consuming to quickly get the translations I needed constantly.

All achievable with iphone's. Up here in Canada anyway.

I was recently on a business trip and had my blackberry at my hip.
On a trip, I needed translator software, so went to RIM app world and found my options limited, i "trialed" their $30.00 french translator. (Let me say first I tried to use the web interface for google, but it took so long and so many clicks on the BB it was unusable consistently).
Well it was useless. Didn't do phrases, no real options, only did 1 word at a time. WTF? $30.00?!?
Luckily I had my ipad handy and saw what was available on the app store there. For 1.99 I got an offline app that KILLED the blackberry app in terms of features and usability.
So, in real work business usage, I have to say, RIM, you've lost me personally, but do continue to make back bench, locked in deals with CEO's to get your phones locked into corporations while you can.
Smart people use smartphones and want usability and fart apps for novelties to take their brains away from work once in awhile.

As a business grunt, I was just alluding to a string of good sites/companies being gobbled up by bigger fish. Makes me cringe as I've never seen the parent company take the product or service in a better direction.

Yes, SF continues to win contracts from Dynamics or whatever MS is calling their latest CRM this week.
SF are just WAY too nimble in their catering to companies needs while MS expects companies to buy upgraded hardware, software, consultants, etc to conform data to THEIR system.
SF: Here you go, we figured out how to provide x for no extra charge.
MS: Sorry we can't do that without $100,000 and even then there's no guarantee.
So yeah, SF is kickin MS's a$$ets and putting their attempts at a CRM to shame.
Next up, MS buys SF.com. *sigh*

Red Cross is notorious for only spending what they feel they need to. In other disasters only 10% of the money donated ever reached the actual disaster, and of that, there was a huge overhead.
Sorry folks, just not worth it. Do a little digging first, there are MUCH better charities out there that have a LOT more (or all!) of the money you donate going directly to Haiti.

I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
