22. “ A fundamental part of WAC is to ensure that developers have the simplest method by which they can create applications for the long tail. A key part of this is to endorse and encourage the use of technologies which are based around open standards. WAC plans to initially use both the JIL and OMTP BONDI requirements, evolving these into a common specification within the next 12 months. The long term goal will be to collectively work with the W3C for a common standard based on our converged solution.”

25. BlackBerry Widgets is a platform to allow developers to leverage their existing web knowledge to build compelling mobile applications. A BlackBerry Widget combines standard web technologies with local device functionality in a familiar fashion while still providing industry leading security. Based off of the W3C Widget specification, a BlackBerry Widget is an alternative approach to building a mobile application in a native SDK yet still provides the same power and functionality. By using standard web technologies, the barrier for building compelling BlackBerry applications has been significantly lowered.
