not so much. I have the BB SDK, but it's ugly, because every time there is a new BlackBerry Phone they obsolete the old API. Stupid, stupid move.

Hah, they even have a Certification Program, find them, go to them, do a test, pass, PAY, leave with a paper. What would you expect from a classical business oriented company without vision, innovation and gut.

They should pay YOU to do the test when you pass, they have a much higher need for developers than we need them.

They need the core applications more than they need random developers creating led notifications and keyboards.

My assumption is their target market is corporate. They need Citrix, Cisco, Remote Desktop support, banking applications and Bloomberg.

Edit: they did try to get developers to port their apps by floating a free z10 for them, oddly enough none of those apps are configured for the q10 their flagship phone currently. Also for end users such as myself the android ports work to a degree.
