You're a rabid BlackBerry user and have one - or more! - ideas for making your constant companion even better. Or maybe you've had a supersmart smartphone inspiration.

So where do you go from here? Hop over to the BlackBerry Partners Fund, which supplies venture capital for mobile applications. Its new Jump Start initiative will provide up to $250,000 "to bring new and innovative ideas into the development process faster allowing entrepreneurs to focus on building great smartphone applications instead of raising seed capital."

Sounds intriguing in these credit-starved times. Details and application form here. Thanks to Eric Franklin at Crave.
