BlackBerry WebWorks SDK now available

This update comes shortly after the introduction of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK v 2.1 for Tablet OS and brings similar functionality and APIs to the BlackBerry smartphone OS.

The new capabilities that WebWorks developers can now leverage include:

• NTML & BASIC Authentication support
• Camera API
• Top Banner Indicator API
• Enhanced Push APIs and
• improved rendering speeds for some applications.

The APIs enable web developers to deeply integrate with the BlackBerry smartphone OS and thereby build apps that offer more immersive and interactive end user experiences. Other benefits developers can derive from the new application functionality and APIs are better app monetization, diversified development approaches, support for standardized security and better integration with the widely popular BlackBerry Messenger Social Platform.
