BlackBerry Applications
BlackBerry® devices support BlackBerry® Browser Applications, BlackBerry Java® Applications, and BlackBerry® MDS
Runtime Applications. Application developers in your organization can create BlackBerry Applications using BlackBerry
development tools or third-party development tools. You can install and manage BlackBerry Java Applications on BlackBerry
devices using the BlackBerry Administration Service. You can install and manage BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications and
BlackBerry Browser Applications on BlackBerry devices using the BlackBerry MDS Application Console.
For more information about the options for developing BlackBerry Applications, visit www.blackberry.com/developers to see the
BlackBerry Mobile Data System Technical Overview.
BlackBerry Java Applications
BlackBerry® Java® Applications can range from simple applications, such as a game on BlackBerry devices, to complex
applications with advanced UIs and various options for data management, storage, and network communication. BlackBerry Java
Applications can use a client-only architecture (that is, the applications do not send data to or receive data from a content server)
or they can use a client/server application model (that is, the applications send data to and receive data from a content server).
For example, a developer can create a BlackBerry Java Application so that users can send data to and receive data from a central
sales database.
Developers can create BlackBerry Java Applications using the BlackBerry® Java® Development Environment, the BlackBerry®
JDE Plug-in for Eclipse®, or other Java authoring tools. BlackBerry devices run BlackBerry Java Applications using BlackBerry
APIs and Java ME, which are standard on BlackBerry devices.

BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications
BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Applications are lightweight, rich-client applications that are created using BlackBerry® MDS
Studio or the BlackBerry® Plug-in for Microsoft® Visual Studio®. BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications communicate with an
organization's systems through the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service, a component of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server.
BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications can range from simple to complex, but they are typically forms-based applications that
users can use to access web services or databases that are located inside your organization's firewall. Web services or a database
contain the data and operations that developers can use to create BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications. Web services or a
database also process the data that they receive from BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications. For example, a developer can create
a BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application so that users can look up data from a directory in your organization.
Using the latest versions of the BlackBerry MDS Studio Plug-in for Eclipse or the BlackBerry Plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio,
application developers in your organization can create BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications that standard applications on
BlackBerry devices (for example, the contact list) and custom BlackBerry Java® Applications can invoke. Developers can also
create BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications that can invoke standard applications on BlackBerry devices, custom BlackBerry
Java Applications, or other BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications.
