IMG_00000057-600x451

Research In Motion showcased a few native apps at the BlackBerry Innovation Forum. Here, RIM demoed native email, contacts, and calendar apps. The email and calendar app as expected with read, write, zoom in and out of email, mark priority etc.

The calendar app has a unique feature of making the number of the day of the month larger if you have more items listed within it. As for contacts, this features utilizes Gist, with a similar UI you’ve come familiar to if used on a BlackBerry smartphone.

All of these native apps still look to have a final release date of February 17th, 2012. This coincides with the official release of PlayBook OS 2.0. Can you wait any longer for the native apps?

    (I think i just soiled me pantalon!)

    thanks Lucas, keep up the good work.


  2. looks good to me and the subtle ui tweaks (larger numbers) goes to show that the people in that department working on it are thinking about how to make it useful, unique and hopefully fast. If I can get it to sync properly with gmail, hotmail, my phone and outlook etc then you’re on a winner!
