[IDEA][DEVS NEEDED][Probably BOUNTY] Tumblr for Windows Mobile - First sketch!!!

[m.schmidler]

The blogging-service Tumblr (http://www.tumblr.com/why-tumblr) is really great but it would be even better if we had a mobile application (like the iPhone guys do).
I´m no developer myself but I hope someone could help. Of course I´m prepared to donate and I think others are as well.

[For users:]
If you are prepared to donate please post the amount you would donate, if the app delivers you needs and wishes.

[Bounty so far:]
20€ by me for a fully functional, good looking app.
10$ by hrhnick for full dashboard experience

[For devs:]
Here is the API documentation (http://www.tumblr.com/docs/api), seams like normal HTTP requests and some XML.

I could help with graphics as well (if needed). Here is a first sketch how the app could look like, I simply took the graphics from the official site and put them together in Photoshop.

def interested. i'd donate for the full tumblr dashboard experience. $10 USD

Maybe everyone adds the amount of money he/she is willing to donate!

Posted a first sketch of how the UI could look like. Basically I think a mobile app of a service that already exists should always resemble the look. I´m not sure how far my sketch is doable in reality (I´d say that depends on the dev ^^) but basic things like the logo or the colors are realistic.

Screenshot from the opensource app "OpenTumblr (http://opentumblr.com)"
Its pretty much scaled to the right small factor, and runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Maybe a dev could port/modify it to PPC?

I don't use tumblr but any thoughts on using a java version? Here are two:

I hate Java...nevertheless I will try it, thanks for the tip.

EDIT: Ok, I did a bit of binging and found a Windows-client based on .NET; maybe this Open-Source app could provide the basis for a mobile .NET app!

to be honest, no dev in the right mind will go for a mere 50 dollar bounty which asks for a full function. i'm writing one right now and to include the full dashboard experience with only a 10 dollar and 20 uero promise is crazy.i have better luck posting it in market place when its done later, even with cut down funtionality and sell it at 2.99.


update,

just studied the source for wintumblr and for the moment, i think an app for posting is totally achievable, but for an app with dashboard... might take longer.
now i have a working text and photo posting function. its enough for me. will post screenies from the device emulator later.

I tried both of the java ones on my HD2 and when it asks if I want to install, it attempts to then says the file is corrupt. :/
