subject: Blackberry Software Development-the Java Me Operating System [print this page] Blackberry is a Smartphone device manufactured by a Research in Motion (RIM) in 1999. It is a wireless device and unites the functionalities of both cellular phone and PDA. Besides this, it offers fantastic emailing capabilities and you can send and receive mails while managing the high level security with message encryption. You will find a lot of instant messaging features in it, including the blackberry messenger.
RIM Blackberry is the number 1 choice for most business people all over the world. Due to its unlimited features, beautiful interface and applications it has made a great name in the world of mobile devices. Once you have got it, you can check out calendars, emails, information from internet and corporate data to stay in touch with your business colleagues and partners.
The Blackberry is a java machine and everything comes from operating system to all programs and creates with the mobile java version called Java ME. This is good of developers who are already familiar to java language and know that how to make java programs. Due to this reason it makes no any difference of Blackberry software development from other software on which they have worked in the past. One advantage of Blackberry software development for beautiful blackberry is that the developers have various options of development. They can customize the blackberry applications depending on features of application. Developers can build java applications, browser based applications or they can also pick the MDS runtime development.
Developers who want to develop or customize new apps or they need a high degree of flexibility in it, they can build everything by using the Java ME. With Java ME, they can access both built-in software and hardware on all Blackberry machine. You can develop everything that you want but one thing that you need to consider is that this all is possible with a cost. If you can do anything, it also means that you have few pre-made functionality. You will need to give some extra times to create certain features that would be available with different option of development.
Some developers dont want to access difficult approach, rather they prefer the most familiar and simple approach by developing the browser applications. By doing so, they can save much time and make their process of development easier. But they cannot access the same hardware resources of Blackberry by creating a web browser application than creating a Java ME application.
