APIs to Help BlackBerry Apps Succeed

Social integration: BBM APIs for connected applications Opportunity in mobile commerce for social buying (wishlists, gifting, sharing deal

finds with real-life friends)

Push API Opportunity for users to be instantly notified of recommended deals, new items,

etc. “We really love the push capabilities from BlackBerry. Our developers need to

entice the user to come back to their app again and again…With push technology, our apps are buzzing in their pocket, sending out notifications when relevant content is available.”

• Developer Quote

BB Analytics Tools to analyze when and how your customers engage with your app Allows developers to optimize their customers’ experience and increase sales “I’ve integrated the Analytics Service API on my latest game. It’s very useful

because the API allows me to track which game mode users play most, if a level is too difficult for users to complete, and how much time they spend playing the game in general.”
