Blackberry OS 6.0/7.0 and the future

[Riccardo Spagni]

Congratulations on the 2.6 release, guys:)

So I've been looking at this graph: http://us.blackberry.com/developers/subscribers_by_os_lg.jpg

The data is a little outdated (it's from May), but in my discussions with the Technical Partnership Manager for Africa at RIM he said that OS 6 is seeing significant adoption, especially as their touch-screen devices are shipping en masse.

I know that I can use MoSync to target OS 4.x and 5.0 quite easily, and the look-and-feel of MAUI is just fine for that...but when targetting OS 6.0 and 7.0 it needs to feel a little more "native". Is there going to be support for NativeUI on Blackberry OS 6.0 and 7.0? I think with the new Blackberry adoption rates that much higher than Android (in Africa, not the rest of the world) it is quite important to us going forward with MoSync as a platform.

Thanks,
   Riccardo

Hi Riccardo!

Of course we haven't forgot about Blackberry and Native UI. It will be released during the later part of this year, more exactly in the middle of December. I hope this time frame is all right with you. We are working on an updated roadmap which will be published in the following days.
