Antair Blog Growing a software company in Brooklyn

How far do Antair engineers go to track down a BlackBerry bug?

All the way to the bare metal …

Seriously, though, we do not condone taking apart your BlackBerry device for any reason. Not if you ever expect to use it again. The device above is one of our lab testing devices — par for the course.

Antair is looking for a mobile phone developer — specifically someone who has at least a few years of experience writing software for the RIM BlackBerry line of devices. Candidates with experience with other mobile devices, as well as overall strong developers, will be considered as well.

This is a full-time position for our New York City offices — no recruiters or¬†telecommuters¬†please.

Cellulare, an Italian magazine focusing on mobile technology has posted a review of Antair BlackBerry Spam Filter and Antair BlackBerry Call Screener. You can find the online edition of the article here.

Right now, we have four games available for the RIM BlackBerry handheld.

We love making these!

Antair BlackBerry games are quite popular with our customers, and it’s nice to have something to play on our own BlackBerry devices at the office as well.

So the questions is — why no Antair games for the iPhone?

Well … the answer is, they’re coming!

Initially, as a business decision, trying to look past the cloud (smog?) of hype and see the other side of the market proved to be a bit too tedious. It just seemed like devoting resources to developing an iPhone game specifically to target the day of the 3G release felt a bit like pushing down the nitro button and driving full steam into what could easily have been a very solid brick wall — with months of development time wasted.

We also had a lot of other product updates in the pipeline at the time, and being a small company, we had to think about priorities.

Rest assured, however, at some point in the near future, you should be able to grab a copy of Asteroid Jane for your iPhone — with more releases to follow.
