App Developers Get Hold Of Upcoming BlackBerry10 Software Toolkit

0

If Research In Motion aims to reaffirm its position on the market it has a responsibility to immediately reverse course and demonstrate the ability to maintain its position despite iPhone OS, Android and even through the Windows Phone. If Research In Motion aims to save itself, it must immediately collect the results and clarify that it will not let go so quickly. If Research In Motion intends to resume the hope-march for BlackBerry 10: this is the last real hope of a group that entrust their fate to the new version of the mobile operating system on which has been working for months.

Research In Motion (RIM) introduced the platform and launched in beta software toolkit native HTML5, which allow developers to create and test new applications in preparation for the launch of BlackBerry 10 expected for the latter part of 2012.

Christopher Smith, vice president of Tools and Application Platform Handhelds RIM said developers can use this first beta of the tools to begin creating applications for BlackBerry 10.

No new device, for now, so all attention is focused on software. Because this is where you will play the main game, and it is here that most critics see RIM as chronic delays.  BlackBerry 10 is seen by many as a declination of Windows Phone in terms of interface under the ‘tile’ of content on the home screen, but has significant points of differentiation with respect to all major competitors.

Among the most valuable features is full support for multi-touch, which allows new ways to switch from one app and another without interruption of work.

RIM, while introducing BlackBerry 10 during the presentation, highlighted through its gesture and interaction have the new approach infused into the project and the insights that the group hopes to prove that BB10 does want to overtake the competition. Indeed.

RIM defines it as a “mobile operating system”, thus avoiding limiting its application to smartphones and tablets: BB10 seems to want to go further, nurturing ambitions for example, even for computer equipment on board of cars. Research In Motion in a requisite effort has called in app developers, trying to make them understand how lucrative it can be the BlackBerry world. The promise of RIM is so resounding that developers of leading BB10-quality applications will see a guaranteed income of $10,000. This will encourage app developers to groped adventure, risking their time in favor of a cause that could guarantee a minimum return to tickle the appetite for certain productions. The developer toolkit is distributed simultaneously to the presentation, thus completing the call to cross fingers aimed at developers.

At its annual conference, the Canadian company also introduced a new version of its virtual keyboard which includes improvements, rather than the traditional QWERTY keyboard. An interesting feature of predictive text shown during the event: when typing on the QWERTY keyboard interface, in fact, appear that the system understands some words may be the ones you want: a small slip of the finger upwards is able to complete the composition, thereby significantly speeding up the typing of the message. This is a function certainly interesting and different from that proposed by the three largest competitors, particularly important that a differentiation in the business can return real benefits in terms of accuracy, speed and fluency in writing.

The native SDK kit, Smith said, has a set of interfaces applications that gives developers access to the main functions of the device and a range of services for applications such as Push and Payment. Cascades is a set of tools for developing native applications that allows developers to easily build visually stunning applications without writing code charts.

In the event, the new CEO of RIM, Thorsten Heins, noted that BlackBerry 10 is on track and their goal is to provide simpler and with more dynamic features than previous versions.
