14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion is getting ready for the BlackBerry DEVCON 2010 conference, set to take place on September 27th-30th in San Francisco, California.
For those out of the loop, we should note that DEVCON 2010 is expected to bring to the table new technologies and tools aimed at developers, something that happened at each previous annual show.
When it comes to this year's event, “you can expect a number of exciting announcements on new and future products that are designed to help our developer community be successful and profitable,” RIM stated in a post on its dev blog.
“This year you, our attendees, will not only be the first to hear our announcements, but we will have dedicated break-out sessions with live demos and deep dives on all of the new announcements, so you can see them firsthand and get your questions answered,” the company continues.
According to the phone maker, one of the key points at the conference will be “Taking Social to a Whole New Level: New Social Apps Platform for Developers.”
The company announced last year the launch of its BlackBerry Push Service, and many developers already included it in their applications, but it seems that more features can be made available for them, including instant pushing of data from a device to the other.
Another session at the event would be “Building Commercial Businesses on BlackBerry: New Commerce Services,” where the company plans on detailing more on its software portal.
“BlackBerry App World 2.0 was a huge step forward in opening up commercial opportunities for our developer community. We added credit card and carrier billing capabilities along with the ability for customers to purchase apps from the desktop storefront,” RIM states.
Other sessions at the conference would be “New Enterprise Integration Services for Enterprise App Developers” and “Using Web Technologies to Build Apps: (R)evolution of BlackBerry Widgets.”
But this is not all, it seems. Those attending the conference should also learn a wide range of details on app development for BlackBerry OS 6.
Moreover, the company plans on showcasing the new mobile operating system on devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone, BlackBerry Pearl 9100 smartphone and other more.
