At the BlackBerry Developer Conference in 2009, RIM said it was necessary to strengthen cooperation with Adobe. According to the current situation, the cooperation between the two companies has reached a very close level.

Flash Loving has already appeared in the Demo Video of Playbook. we originally thought that Flash Loving can support web Flash. However, from the perspective of the development of things, such integration seems to go deeper.

At the Adobe MAX conference, RIM released the Blackberry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR. We know that RIM has previously released the webWorks SDK and guessed that RIM is taking the webOS path. However, from this release, RIM apparently aims to encourage developers to Use Adobe AIR to develop applications. According to them, Playbook is the first tablet that is fully supported by Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR.

RIM and Adobe apparently aim to quickly build bridges between platforms and developers through Adobe's long-time development environment, attracting a large number of AIR developers in a short time.

The new SDK will provide developers with the following support:

Hardware-accelerated video playback and image-rich content display are provided in browsers and AIR applications. This allows you to enjoy a smooth and high-quality trial experience and enjoy a 1080 p HD video.

Web View allows the AIR application to display HTML and Flash programs, and can use the Webkit browser on the Playbook.

The UI elements are specially designed for the touch screen experience of a tablet, including support for multi-touch and gesture.

Powerful APIs provide many advanced functions, such as front and side cameras, Gravity Sensors, geographic positioning, In-app payment and more.

The Application Notification System allows developers to send events generated by the AIR application, even if the application runs in the background, users can be notified quickly.

Seamless communication between AIR applications to develop super programs.

Adobe AIR applications can use native C ++ extensions, allowing developers to use native Blackberry Tablet OS code when writing applications. This requires Blackberry Tablet OS native SDK) quickly and conveniently transplanted existing Adobe AIR applications to Playbook.

Some Blackberry Alliance members have started to use the SDK to develop applications. The overall response is positive.

Steve Rankin, president and CEO of Client Outlook, "using Blackberry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR to develop programs is incredibly fast and easy. We have enabled eUnity to run on Blackberry Playbook within two hours ."

Kobo CEO Dan Leibu, "with the help of Adobe development tools, we have developed a distinctive reading application that will be pre-installed on Playbook. SDK for Adobe AIR enables us to provide a wide range of reading content and a world-class reading experience, and achieve outstanding performance standards ."

"SDK for Adobe AIR enables us to use Chatter Mobile to provide seamless real-time collaboration for commercial users.

Mobility Market Development, senior vice president of sap ag, Nicolas Brown, "with the SDK for Adobe AIR, we can use Flash development tools to easily write programs-converting SAP applications into AIR applications on Playbook takes only 10 days for developers."

Brett Cortese, CEO of Universal Mind, "the SDK for Adobe AIR enables us to use our existing programming knowledge to create an excellent experience. It makes the compilation of Playbook applications very fast ."

At the Adobe Max conference, RIM demonstrated how to run Adobe AIR-based video applications on Playbook. Adobe AIR is a cross-platform development environment that spans computer desktops and mobile handheld devices. If Playbook is successful, maybe BlackBerry will adopt Adobe AIR/Flash development environments in the future?

"We will not reduce the user's network experience because the screen size of mobile devices is small," said Mike Lazaridis, CEO of RIM, at the Development Conference, "What we need to do is to bring the performance and capabilities of mobile devices to the network."
