RIM has released the SDK for BlackBerry TabletOS

News for developers who have been eyeing the BlackBerry PlayBook platform.

RIM has released the Native SDK beta for the BlackBerry Tablet OS, which allows developers to create gaming applications in C / C ++, as well as use a wider set of API capabilities.

To get at their disposal a new toolkit and start developing or porting applications for the BlackBerry Tablet OS, developers need to register in the beta program at http://03268fe.netsolhost.com/bbbeta/ . Interested developers should hurry with registration, as the number of program participants is limited, and access will be granted only to the first to contact.

What opportunities will developers have at their disposal?

Using the OpenGL ES 2.0 API, developers can create two-dimensional and three-dimensional games for the BlackBerry PlayBook. Native SDK allows you to use the full power of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to create high-performance games that support multi-threading. A good example of the interface and graphics capabilities of the tablet is the game Need For Speed .

The Native SDK provides access to the accelerometer, determining the position of the device in space and other functions of the tablet, and also provides the developer with many POSIX libraries that facilitate the process of porting previously developed games to the tablet.

The Native SDK includes the QNX Momentics Tool Suite, which is an integrated development environment based on Eclipse. QNX Momentics provides information about the distribution and use of memory, and also allows you to debug applications. This toolkit is especially useful for developers at the stage of debugging complex programs, including applications that use hardware accelerated graphics OpenGL.

For more information about fast and efficient APIs that are part of the Native SDK, as well as opening opportunities for developers, see the BlackBerry developer support site.

One can only add that it is expected that the next generation of BlackBerry smartphones will also use the QNX-based OS.
