Thinking about the future Blackberry app store

bijan:

But the open question in my mind is the quality of the new apps coming out. These current Java apps are just clunky.

Does Blackberry need to provide a SDK for developers? Is it just a limitation in the current stack and hardware? Or something else? Or is the UI framework sucky for these 3rd party apps?

I need to dig in more on subject.

Yes. Although I haven’t myself developed bb apps, the whole process seems horribly similar to J2ME development.

Java is great, but RIM needs to improve the stack considerably to make it something that most iPhone developers would consider.

Last time i checked, J2ME required developers to implement their own scroll bars to get simple functionality in canvas views. Ugh.
