Create BlackBerry applications with open source tools, Part 3: Building a social-networking application

Why write a social-networking application for BlackBerry? Social networking is all the rage, and people want to take this experience with them wherever they go. Many social-networking users carry BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry platform is rich and ripe for social networking. Its capability as an Internet-accessing device is solid, its reputation as a messaging platform is legendary, and one important feature that most BlackBerry devices boast is a full keyboard. Having a camera is handy, but the power lies in a keyboard where users can rapidly type messages to friends or business associates. The BlackBerry environment also presents an open programming infrastructure where you can "catch" or hook many events of interest. These capabilities open many possibilities for feature-rich social-networking applications.
