CIO has obtained an exclusive interview with RIM’s new VP of Developer Relations, Alec Saunders, about the new BlackBerry platform, BBX, the future of the existing BlackBerry OS, what this software split means to BlackBerry–and Android–developers, and more. It’s a very good read, I encourage everyone to check it out here
The most interesting part is this tidbit
A few more details on the new BBX smartphone, from Saunders: the first BBX handhelds will support BES and native PIM apps immediately on launch, or at least that’s RIM’s intent right now; and a “BlackBerry Bridge” smartphone app is also expected to be available for companies that wish to employ it for security reasons, though the app won’t be required to access BlackBerry PIM apps, as is currently the case with RIM’s PlayBook tablet.
