A lot of talk has been generating from the BlackBerry Super Apps webinar that was held yesterday. The above pic is from one of the slides shown during the webinar showing off how UI layouts are meant to be. Nicely integrated, visually appealing and user aware and what is possible in the contextual BlackBerry OS. For example, applications that remember your position upon open and closing and data flow of information at a glance.

Since the example given is nothing like what the current BlackBerry OS looks like, BerryScoop wanted to speculate a little bit to ask what if this was actually what OS 6.0 was to look like? In no way claiming it will but just as a general question. Would it appeal to the masses? Is it enough or would users be expecting more? All valid questions as I see it for as ideas for the next OS.

As much as we all like to speculate and enjoy the thought of what the next BlackBerry OS should and will look like, the official word on this is that it is in no way a reflection of any ongoing development work. For folks who like finer details look at the date and location on the device. November 8th, San Francisco. This app, called Concierge was shown off at the recent BlackBerry developer conference by Curtis Susaski to ring in the arrival of the BlackBerry widgets SDK just as an example of what is possible in the way of contextual additions to the BlackBerry OS.

Continuing on with the BlackBerry Developer webinars, Research In Motion has just announced another one for those out there looking to design, build and deploy super apps onto the BlackBerry platform. The last webinar was focused on UI designs and this one will fall along the same vein most certainly, given the definiton of super apps which make use of all the BlackBerry UI aspects. Here is a run down of what will be covered:

• design apps that are stickier, more intuitive, more engaging and more valuable to users
• maximize network efficiency and battery life with “always-on” apps that run in the background, quietly waiting for the right time to spring into action
• add custom menu items and data to the Inbox, Address Book and Calendar so your apps are always one click away
• leverage true push technology to deliver “just-in-time” data with audible notifications and customized messages 

The webinar will be held on Thursday, February 25, 2010 at 2:00PM EST with Mike Kirkup, Director, Developer Relations at Research In Motion doing the presentation. Registration is now open for all those interested and hopefully, like the other webinars RIM will make this available for rebroadcast.

Just in case any of you out there missed the February 16th webinar on application user interface design. Research In Motion has now made the replay available for all to view. Having sat in on the webinar, I did learn some good tips and tricks on what to be focusing on when it comes to designing BlackBerry user interfaces. Research In Motion also shared some great knowledge base articles that I had not seen before outlining some sample codes to help get anyone interested started. While I personally do not have the skill set as of yet to be pulling off some of the stuff shown, it will surely be good for those who do and hopefully we can see some "super apps" come our way.
