Motorola Droid
a million dollar idea!!
i just came up with a very usefull app, but i dont know how to make it, i want an app. thats acts as a teleprompter, great for blogging or actors, or interviews(thats what i want it for) seems easy enough to have scrolling words on the screen large in size that u type in throgh they keyboard, can i give someone a 100 bucks or so to make it for me?? im serious about this, how hard is it for moderate tech people to make appss??

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're a little late. A simple Market search reveals NightBook and SpeechPad to match your description. I haven't tried either, but you should.

Again, I only used those two apps long enough to give you a tutorial, and show you what's possible. I doubt you can create a text file from them, however.
As far as how to create a text file....seriously? *sigh* Try searching the Market for "notepad" and reading descriptions.
If, no sorry, when you fail at finding one yourself, try OI Notepad. I use it, and know for a fact you can save to a specified folder on your sdcard. It also integrates with OI File Manager, in case you don't have a file manager already, or don't know how to type a file path into the save dialog.
There's nothing wrong with trying things yourself, you know. It would take you less time to figure all this out on your own than it took me to type it up (on my...
