Below are eight steps to guide you in building and marketing a breakthrough BlackBerry business application:

1. Warm up to the BlackBerry Platform: A breakthrough business application gets started with the Java-based BlackBerry platform. There are two SDK options to develop apps on the platform: MIDP/CLDC and BlackBerry specific APIs. Most BlackBerry business app developers build BlackBerry-specific applications as it means using the highly flexible and free-to-download BlackBerry Java Development Environment. With the JDE, you don’t even need a BlackBerry handheld as it comes with a BlackBerry device simulator and includes all essential tools to develop, package, test and debug applications. Hence the first crucial step is to warm-up to the BlackBerry platform by downloading the JDE and start creating simple apps using it.

2. Develop the App concept: The BlackBerry platform may lag behind in giving your app that instant, modern and flashy outlook. However, a committed development approach would unravel the built-in wonders of the BB platform, which supports development of full-scale business applications of any magnitude. So, develop an app concept that is unique and business-specific. With BlackBerry, business is always a winning bet.

3. Keep the UI simple & utility-oriented: As mentioned earlier, the BB OS does not weigh high on the fancy part, but is extremely supportive of the business factor. Hence it is crucial to keep your interface simple and appealing instead of overdone or over-crowded. It is essential to build the app in such a way that, at one look, the user understands the functions and options available in the application. Better to explain your fields, check boxes and radio buttons with short, descriptive words.

4. Test your app, get support: Though the simulator is a near-perfect system, it is not the real device. It is always better to test run your app in an actual handheld BlackBerry before launching it. If the BlackBerry platform is difficult to crack, you can always seek help from BlackBerry developer programs or explore BlackBerry developer resources. There are also a lot of third-party forums, eBooks and guides available to help you learn the nuances of BlackBerry app development.

5. Pricing the App: The next step is to price the app. Set a competitive price. If this is your first attempt at BlackBerry app development and if you feel there are several similar apps around, offer the app for free. Call it the beta version and measure how users receive it. Later, you can setup affordable price tags for the upgraded versions of the app.

6. Digital Rights Management (DRM): How do you make sure that users pay for your app? And how do you avoid users from paying again for the app if their device breaks? Setup a logical and practically- feasible yet secure DRM system to make sure that users who buy your app pay for it and get access to it. Also, decide if users need to pay again in case of their device failure or if they switched devices.

7.Selling the App: Now that you have an app with a price tag, you need to find ways to sell it. You can sell the app directly through RIM’s BlackBerry App World or through retailers like MobiHand or Handango. Make sure that your presentation of the app in the Reseller’s channel or in the App World is appealing. Five important criteria that count in the selling process are:

Short description of App

Long description of App

Application icon

Screenshots/preview videos of App

Trial versions of App (this has great commercial value as it helps user gain practical knowledge of your app).

8. Upgrades, customer support & user community: Everything does not get over with the selling process. In fact, an application’s success is gauged only after the initial sales. Sales stats and user feedback help you modify or upgrade the application. As a developer, you need to provide customer support to your users. Keeping in constant touch with your user community through forums will help you get direct, positive feedback which in turn will guide you in upgrading your app.

Personally, I’m fairly IT device agnostic. If all you’ve ever used is a hammer, then it feels like the right tool for every job, and every job starts looking like a nail. And that’s why I try to spend a decent amount of time on each device before I make my personal choice. If I’m going to be in contract with a telco (yet another evil) for a minimum of 24 months then I want to make sure that the device I choose is going to fit what I need today, and be able to add features as I need them in the future. In my 23-ish years of being in the IT industry I have learnt one thing: no one device does everything for every person every time. This is especially true in the PDA/Smartphone space.

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, RIM. It tolls for thee. The death knell has been struck. And unless RIM makes some dramatic changes, the BlackBerry is going to be relegated to an “also ran” device. There are five areas that Research In Motion needs to address quickly before losing the battle entirely to Apple.

Ask almost any Joe or Josephine Random in the IT sector this question “Who is Steve Jobs?” and you’re almost guaranteed a 100% correct response worldwide. Depending on what side of the Holy War you ask, you might also get a mixture of “saviour”, “miracle worker”, “satan in the flesh”, or “the personification of evil”. Now, ask the same sampling of people “What does Jim Balsillie do?” and you’ll mostly get blank stares outside of the US and Canada. You’re may possibly going to get an earful, from the American hockey supporters, about Jim’s attempt to take over the Phoenix Coyotes. RIM needs a public face, an image to connect to. A very quick search on Google doesn’t seem to show any international whistle-stop tours by either of RIM’s top-dogs, Jim Balsillie or Mike Lazaridis, nor does any such information appear on RIM’s news or press release pages. Either Jim and Mike are afraid of flying, or their feet are nailed to the floor. Or is it just a lack of regard for the international marketplace.

In fact, I would tend to believe that it is this last factor, a lack of regard for the international marketplace, is the core cultural issue that RIM needs to address. On April 1st, almost 5 months ago, the BlackBerry App World was released to the world of BlackBerry users. Well, no, not really. Only if you are lucky enough to live in the US, Canada and the UK. The App “World” was recently extended to some more European countries, but still no joy for anyone who lives in the Southern Hemisphere. Maybe the App World should have been name App N. Hemisphere.. or even App Nemesis. Even Apple managed to release the App Store in all countries where the iPhone was being released. The App World should have been the great opportunity to unify the sales or distribution of BlackBerry applications, but no. App World should have brought the BlackBerry onto a level playing field for the consumer comparison between iPhone and BlackBerry, and providing a professionally managed repostiry. As it stands, I have to hunt for new programs via Google or the many third party blog sites. Ridiculous. Come on RIM! Release App World wherever you sell BlackBerry’s. Do it now. Or close it entirely. And take a long, hard look at the application development tools for the BlackBerry while you’re at it.

The desktop management of the iPhone is another area that RIM really needs to take a lesson from Apple on. I’m not a fan of iTunes, not the attempted subterfuge of indicating Safari as a Mandatory update. But iTunes, either on PC or Mac, works the same. You can integrate the synchronisation of music, photos, applications, whatever, and there’s no implied judgement on your desktop operating system of choice. There’s a Mac version, there’s a PC version. Oh and there’s even open source versions for your favourite Linux derivative. But what Operating System do you have to use to upgrade a BlackBerry. Windows. And even with the latest version of software upgrade tools, what web browser do you HAVE to use? Internet Explorer on Windows. Come on RIM. If you even had half a grain of salts worth of wisdom here, you would have written the latest update tool for FIREFOX, which at least does run on Windows, Mac and Linux. I hadn’t heard that Canada was the land of Windows.

And while you’re in the decision-making mode, how about you nail down what products you’re going to sell. From Apple, theres the iPhone, either 3G or the 3Gs. They look the same, operate the same, run the same software, have the same power  adapters. RIM sells four styles of BlackBerry – full keypad, reduced keypad, no keypad, and the flipphone. Oh, and software for the Storm (no keypad) won’t easily run on anything else. Oh, and just change the power adapter to the new “standard”. And the features for each new BlackBerry seem to depend on the phase of the moon, the availability of vestal virgins, buckets of goats blood, red candles, and a single silver bell. Why, oh why, RIM, don’t all of your current devices have 3G? Wireless? GPS? External SD Card slot? Flash on the Camera? I can understand the desire to have different products for different markets, but there are certain things that just should be standardized on AND THEN LEFT ALONE! You’re just making it harder for your internal Operating Systems development teams. Pick a standard feature set, and then stick to it. If it’s hard for me to recommend which BlackBerry to get then it must be nigh on impossible for the Telco’s who sell them. Just recently, an Australian telco had a print ad in a major newspaper for BlackBerrys, and the specs were wrong (No, the Storm does not have Wifi, you know who you are, my favourite Telco you!)

Perhaps it is the lack of clarity in product direction that causes this final issue – a lack of innovation. I mean, how easy is it to come up with new features when the target platform keeps changing? I found an old 7-series BlackBerry laying around. After managing to find yet a third variant of USB connector cable and charging it up, lo and behold, the 3.x version of the operating system and interface was almost identical to that of my Bold running the latest O/S. I guess there is that old adage “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it”, but that old adage is just that: old. There are many areas where time has caught up and broken the BlackBerry, and shows its age. Web Browsing on a BlackBerry is about as enjoyable as giving yourself a papercut and dipping it in lemon juice and salt. Compare this experience to the native web browsers on an iPhone, or even a Windows Mobile device, and the experience is markedly different. HTML Email is another area, where time does weary the BlackBerry – even if I wanted to hardset the BlackBerry to download email-based images, I can’t. And don’t get me started on the limitation of the size of attachments – If I want to download the attachment then let me download it. Streaming media, its about time to get on it. AJAX and Web 2.0 – it’s no longer cutting edge.

So, how long can Research In Motion keep serving up more cans of Who-hash? Yesterdays software isn’t going to cut it in the workplace of tomorrow. Hey, it’s barely cutting it today.
