Blackberry • RIM has it’s own IDE, Java Development Environment (JDE) and eclipse plugin. • It includes all the RIM extensions to java ME and native api calls. • http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/ click on java SDK v7.0+ (even for developers for Blackberry OS 4.5) • You will need a Blackberry developer zone id (free registration) • Comes with lots of example code. • Don’t forget to get the Smartphone simulators • The version of the phone you are developing for and the OS version too.

  6. Blackberry and Eclipse • The “plugin” for eclipse is actually eclipse with the plugin with v6 simulators (torch 9800). • Install the plugin only if you don’t already have eclipse • You can then update eclipse to get the other versions, like v5 and v7 (as needed). • Only the bold 9900 simulator is included with v7 currently. • If you doing android and blackberry development. • Download blackberry “plugin” first, install it • Then add the android plugin into it.

There is no separate app store for Verizon anymore.

  14. Blackberry • Blackberries have been around for about 15 years. • But each phone is a little different and maybe be running a different version of their OS, that can vary by cell carrier as well. • v4.5.x, v4.6.x, v4.7.x, v5.0.x, v6.0.x, v7.0.x, v10.x (late 2012), playbook • There are also several app stores • App world (Research in Motion). • With new version of blackberry (2012), most of the other app stores have now closed.
