Embattled RIM shows updated developer tools

RIM's conference also drew at least one carrier. AT&T was on hand with a small booth to demonstrate its development tools and APIs. AT&T is offering tools and services that are available to any network user, regardless of platform.
Balsu Thandu, director of the developer program at AT&T, said that “BlackBerry 10 is the next generation of BlackBerry, so we're very interested in finding out how it will adopted by developers and how we can partner with them. That's why we have a booth here, to help developers understand what Web services we can offer.”
To that end, AT&T is demonstrating mobile payment, speech recognition and messaging APIs at the show. Additionally, the company is demonstrating its Application Resource Optimizer, which allows developers to find battery, performance and networking bottlenecks in their mobile applications.
Still, not everyone at BlackBerry Jam Americas is here for business. Chris Maurer, a graduate student at the University of Georgia, is here for his own education. “I'm a doctoral student, and my dissertation is on the BlackBerry ecosystem,” he said. “I'm trying to talk to developers and get a feel for their relationship with RIM, and the different policies and tools provided by RIM, and ultimately how that impacts the users. It seems like the developer base so far is pretty positive about BlackBerry 10 and the opportunities it's going to afford.”
