The newest Blackberry tablet is/was a waste of time and money.

All we want is a better typing experience which means integrating a better spell check sw app, improving the keyboard experience to atleast catchup to the iphone keyboard experience, setup keyboard sensitivity settings that don’t require a phd to figure out or just invent something that will atleast help me increase my rate of date input(typing).

Also, give your loyal blackberry customers a better selection of devices containing next generation not the last generation processors, memory and other useful communications chips.

How about better GPS integrations so we never get lost.

I agree with the previous posters about the survey length. I don’t know how RIM expects to get quality data out of a survey like that when most normal people would have been bored to tears about 15 minutes in. It seems like RIM is doing everything possible at the moment to make it difficult for BlackBerry App developers, even to give fieedback is like pulling teeth!

Thank you for the feedback. In terms of Linux support (or even multiple OS support in general), we have started providing broader support across a variety of operating systems with our PlayBook tooling. With our AIR plugin we support development on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux today. With our WebWorks platform we currently support Windows and Mac OS X and are evaluating support for Linux. Feedback from the community on the importance of this kind of support helps us understand where to spend our time and effort.

Blackberry does a fair job sticking to standards and keeping things open and straightforward. What I am really missing is the minimal effort on your side to support Linux and GPL. You don’t have a Linux Eclipse IDE packaged download, even though it is entirely possible and some devs already have it running on Linux. Also your App Store dev agreement excludes GPL software as it requires warranty for the apps.

[...] survey. They are sending the survey to anybody in the Developer Zone along with promoting it on the BlackBerry Developer Blog. RIM is asking for developers to provide their input on what would make developers more successful [...]

I’ll add my voice to the above posters. It definitely took longer than 15 minutes, and I almost gave up after 30 minutes. I’d imagine that most people just gave up.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Certainly our goal was to keep this to 10-15 minutes. I will consider how we can better achieve that in the next survey. Nevertheless, your participation on this survey will have an impact on our upcoming product plans/releases so I appreciate your effort and patience.
