Mobile application development is emerging in our local Industry at a break neck speed. Every week i hear a new company entering the domain or setting up a mobile phone development department.
The success of iPhone apps has made a lot of local firms wanting to dip their feet in this new market where barrier to entry is not much compared to services projects no long list of successful projects or satisfied clientage required to win your next work. and the success stories are like fantasies, if you hit the right spot the gains are almost un ending.
FiveRivers Technologies which initially branched out as a software development out source from ClearCube (manufacturer of the blade systems) and were responsible for handling the software end of ClearCube. They started and did some exciting local projects with clients such as the remote desktop solution for mobile phones Foneitall for ufone.
Recently they launched another subsidiary pepper.pk which would be responsible for launching mobile phone products, they have started of with launching three daily use products for blackberry app, and if my sources are to believe this is just a start of product portfolio they are working on here is a link to the press release for their BerrySnooper app for black berry.

Very interesting. I am a Mobilink Blackberry user and will be purchasing Berrysnooper since I’ve always been nervous about losing my phone. I’ll try it out and share my experience when i have a chance.

berrysnooper rocks! what a neat idea! I stumbled across it on facebook ads and signed up. it’s way too cool, simple and easy to use. I have a habit of misplacing my blackberry and BS (though i shouldn’t be calling it that) was there for the rescue.
2 thumbs up guys!

I dont know about the theft prevention or detection, but I do forget my phone at places and am not sure if I left it in my car or dropped it somewhere.
Going 7 floors to just see if my phone is in the car or not is a pain. This app does the thing for me.
