Designing Better BlackBerry PlayBook Apps We're going to try something new this month. Research in Motion is partnering with Adobe User Groups for a series of webinars about their upcoming Playbook tablet. The Playbook is RIM's new tablet. More than just a competing device to Apple's iPad and the slew of Android tablets coming to market, it offers some compelling advantages for the developer using Adobe technologies. Their SDK allows you to build apps using pure HTML5 or Adobe Air! Also, through March 15, RIM is offering all accepted apps a free tablet: http://us.blackberry.com/developers/tablet/playbook_offer.jsp A first for the Houston CFUG: we will be participating in an online meeting with the following Adobe user groups: * KCDevCore (Kansas City Adobe RIA group) * LAdobe (Los Angeles Adobe User Group) * Los Angeles AIR User Group * Stateline Adobe Users (Rockford, Illinois) * Nor Cal Flex User Group * Los Angeles Flash User Group Presenter will be Paul Bernhardt from RIM covering the following points in a one hour presentation.
