BBM BBM for Android / iOs Vs for Blackberry BBM, BIS perspective

Now that blackberry launched BBM for users both android & iOs, they have a distinct advantage over native blackberry users. they do not need BIS to use BBM. It's kind of unfair to blackberry as android users users & iOs can use BBM on any single data plan, while BB users have a BIS data plan. cost wise it is a significant difference between regular & blackberry data plans data plans. Blackberry users have to spend on expensive BIS for BBM data plans, while android & iOs users can run on simple data without BIS plans.

Its something that's bothering me.

You can. The new BlackBerry on BB10.

Guess what? Buy you an old car of the 1970s, and it will allow gasoline STAINED GLASS.

Things change.

Legacy BlackBerry require BIS. Period.

  • Best way to start developing for Blackberry 10?

    Hello

    I'm a mobile developer works on iOS, Android, and Blackberry platforms.

    Our society has decided to finally support the Blackberry 10 platform. I've been so busy to develop our latest ideas on iOS I really had time to look into the development of BB10, so far.

    I did some research on the forums and came across this post:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/I-want-to-start-development-for-BlackBerry-1...

    Which mentions 2 ways that you can develop for BB10, Aboriginal and waterfalls.

    Now, when it comes to development of BB, I come from the crowd of java. I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of native development and Cascades, what IDEs or SDK is required, what knowledge is necessary to begin (ex: C++) etc...

    If this question has already been answered, you have my apologies, please provide a link.

    Thank you!

    "Native" is just C/C++ without using Qt and infrastructure of Cascades user interface on top of it. Unless you plan build your user interface ENTIRELY in OpenGL, you probably want to waterfalls. And even in this case, you can draw OpenGL cascading with the ForeignWindowControl content.

    Anyway, if you come from the point of view of iOS, you might find this useful: https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/documentation/getting_started/porting/index.html

    Since you are familiar with our Java on BB7 platform, you can also check the Java BlackBerry series BlackBerry 10 Cascades of blog on our developer blog posts. The first is here: http://devblog.blackberry.com/2013/01/port-java-to-cascades-part-1/and part 13 just came out today.

  • Firefox for Blackberry

    Is there a Firefox for Blackberry?

    BlackBerry 10 and the oldest BlackBerry Tablet OS for PlayBook is based on QNX. Once long ago, you could build Firefox for QNX, but support for QNX has long been removed from the Mozilla source tree.

    Pouvez power you to sideload the Android version that some research shows that it can work on BB10. Saw the reviews than 24.0 23.0 or even worked but shared the latest do not for example with the symbolic method of debugging.

  • Made on emulator ripple 9860 and real device 9860 user interface is different for blackberry OS 7.0

    Hi all

    I have developed a hybrid application that works fine on Android for almost all the resolutioh which I have supported.

    For blackberry, I am building and pacakging an application using the ant tool. During the installation of file .cod devive 9860 having OS 7.0, landing page UI get distorted. Running on the ripple 9860 device, UI reneders correctly.

    Please clarify that ripple is to check the user interface on differnet devive resolution or just for the pacaging and building application.

    Thanks in advance

    Usually the user interface between ripple and a device will be, although there may be small differences. Remember that the unit is running the BlackBerry WebKit application on an ARM architecture, while the ripple uses the implementation of WebKit in Chrome on an architexture that corresponds to your operating system. While the bot Webkit implementations, there may be differences in the way they make; all the more up-to-date the implementation on OS 7.0, your implementation of desktop browser is likely.

    That being said, there is not usually very big differences; specifically, you mentioned the word distorted. Could you provide a comparison of the screenshot of what you're talking about?

    In most cases, ripple should provide solid representation, but is always recommended to test on a simulator/device.

  • Play Free Sims and Candy Crush for BlackBerry Z10

    I would love to see this app World added games

    can someone tell me if this will happen or if its possible or not?

    Thank you very much

    Welcome to Amsterdam

    The best way to get these games in the world of BlackBerry is to contact the developers themselves. They will have the games to BlackBerry port (or create a few new releases for BlackBerry 10). Or maybe they can provide you with the necessary information.

    TL; Dr: the developers for more information, request information or if they are planning to port to BB10

  • What is the best platform to develop applications for BlackBerry 10?

    Hi all

    I have developed applications for BlackBerry 6 and 7 for the last 3 years, but I am very new to BlackBerry 10. I know that most of the developer would like BB 10 is something new. I have about five years of experience in the JAVA platform, but unfortunately BB 10 is not supported it unless you develop applications for Android and the port at 10 BB.

    When I checked the list of programs that are supported by BB 10, I saw C/Cpp, Cascades, HTML5 and action script among them. But which one to choose? There is where I am confused. I don't have any experience in the above mentioned technologies. If I select, I need to learn from the beginning. When I went through a few posts, I got to know many people prefer to develop in HTML5, as it is a cross-platform technology. But many have said that it may have problems of performance and the native technologies like C/Cpp, waterfalls will be the best options in terms of performance.

    Can anyone suggest me the best technology to start with BB10?

    Cascades is based on Qt, which is a cross-platform C++ library. It encapsulates many low level BB Native API - s for easier use, but you still have direct access to these APIs if necessary. C++ syntax is similar to Java, so it shouldn't be too difficult to pass. I suggest choosing stunts.

  • How do you build a folio for Blackberry?

    When you build a folio in Indesign (CS6), you must select a TARGET DEVICE. I need to build for Blackberry Playbook or Blackberry phone. What equipment should I use, I'm not in the list?

    When you make your document in InDesign the only thing make the presets named in the file > new Document dialog do is located the dimensions in pixels of the page. Make a custom with some pixel dimensions you want for your target device.

    Note that we do not explicitly support Blackberry devices. If they can run any Android application, then you should be fine, but know we don't test on them in all. If you want to run on a phone, you will need to use our new Android native Viewer.
