Research in Motion has announced that it is releasing a set of new tools designed to speed up the process of creating apps for the Blackberry. Specifically, the Web- and Java-based tools make it easy to create apps that interact with the BlackBerry’s e-mail inbox, calendar, address book and other features.
“We believe these enhanced tools will spur a new level of creativity and innovation as developers find new ways to leverage the unique power and integrated nature of the BlackBerry platform in order to bring useful, intelligent applications to the millions of BlackBerry smartphone users around the world,” said RIM senior vice-president Alan Brenner.
