Blackberry wireframe stencils

As mentioned here a few weeks ago, Blackberry lacks a community of designers such as the iPhone has — people who freely share their assets and make their entire community more efficient. I made these wireframe elements in September, while working on a series of Blackberry apps. At that time I found nothing useful to help me get started; having created this work from scratch, I resolved to share what I could, in the hopes of making your process a bit less painful. I finally got around to cleaning up these stencils and making them ready to share this morning. Let me know what you think.
Thanks Sal Taglib for converting my OminGraffle stencils into Visio.

If there are any obvious issues, let me know right away, and I will see if its something I can address.

Mark Sigal on Android

If you have the budget to develop for two mobile platforms, its iPhone and what? Clients say 'Blackberry', because every exec is issued one on their first day. Their consultants say 'Android' because of charts like this one, that show only two platforms are gaining audience.

On the O'Reilly blog, Marc Sigal took a good hard look at Android, and wrote this 1800 word essay on what's good (carrier agnosticism) and what's missing (built-in media player like iTunes). Definitely worth a close read.
