RIM Unveils The BlackBerry PlayBook

 New Professional-Grade Tablet Delivers Unmatched Power and Web Performance


September 27, 2010 – BlackBerry DEVCON 2010, San Francisco, CA – Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today redefined the possibilities for mobile computing with the unveiling of its new professional-grade BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet and BlackBerry® Tablet OS.

Perfect for either large organizations or an “army of one”, the BlackBerry PlayBook is designed to give users what they want, including uncompromised web browsing, true multitasking and high performance multimedia, while also providing advanced security features, out-of-the-box enterprise support and a breakthrough development platform for IT departments and developers. The incredibly powerful and innovative BlackBerry PlayBook is truly a game-changing product in the growing tablet marketplace.

“RIM set out to engineer the best professional-grade tablet in the industry with cutting-edge hardware features and one of the world's most robust and flexible operating systems,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. “The BlackBerry PlayBook solidly hits the mark with industry leading power, true multitasking, uncompromised web browsing and high performance multimedia.”

The Tablet You'll Want to Take Everywhere
This beautifully designed and incredibly powerful tablet is ultra portable, ultra thin and super convenient for both work and play. Measuring less than half an inch thick and weighing less than a pound, the BlackBerry PlayBook features a vivid 7” high resolution display that looks and feels great in your hand. With such a unique mix of utility, performance and portability, you’ll want to take it everywhere.

The New Benchmark in Tablet Performance
At its heart, the BlackBerry PlayBook is a multitasking powerhouse. Its groundbreaking performance is jointly fueled by a 1 GHz dual-core processor and the new BlackBerry Tablet OS which supports true symmetric multiprocessing. Together, the abundant processing power and highly sophisticated OS enable the BlackBerry PlayBook to provide users with true multitasking and a highly-responsive and fluid touch screen experience for apps and content services.

Uncompromised Web Browsing


 
 

 


With support for Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1, Adobe® Mobile AIR® and HTML-5, the BlackBerry PlayBook provides customers with an uncompromised, high-fidelity web experience and offers them the ability to enjoy all of the sites, games and media on the web. For more than a decade, the mobile industry has worked to bridge the gap between the “real web” and mobile devices through various apps and technologies and, in fact, a significant number of mobile apps today still simply serve as a proxy for web content that already exists on the web. The BlackBerry PlayBook closes that gap and brings the real, full web experience to mobile users while also opening new and more exciting opportunities for developers and content publishers.

High Performance Multimedia
The BlackBerry PlayBook features premium multimedia features to support high-quality mobile experiences. It includes dual HD cameras for video capture and video conferencing that can both record HD video at the same time, and an HDMI-out port for presenting one's creations on external displays. The BlackBerry PlayBook also offers rich stereo sound and a media player that rivals the best in the industry.

BlackBerry Integration
For those BlackBerry PlayBook users who carry a BlackBerry smartphone*, it will also be possible to pair their tablet and smartphone using a secure Bluetooth® connection. This means they can opt to use the larger tablet display to seamlessly and securely view any of the email, BBM™, calendar, tasks, documents and other content that resides on (or is accessible through) their smartphone. They can also use their tablet and smartphone interchangeably without worrying about syncing or duplicating data. This secure integration of BlackBerry tablets and smartphones is a particularly useful feature for those business users who want to leave their laptop behind.

Enterprise Ready
Thanks to the seamless and secure Bluetooth pairing experience and the highly secure underlying OS architecture, the BlackBerry PlayBook is enterprise ready and compatible (out-of-the-box) with BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. When connected over Bluetooth, the smartphone content is viewable on the tablet, but the content actually remains stored on the BlackBerry smartphone and is only temporarily cached on the tablet (and subject to IT policy controls). With this approach to information security, IT departments can deploy the BlackBerry PlayBook to employees out-of-the-box without worrying about all the security and manageability issues that arise when corporate data is stored on yet another device.


QNX Neutrino Reliability
The BlackBerry Tablet OS is built upon the QNX® Neutrino® microkernel architecture, one of the most reliable, secure and robust operating system architectures in the world. Neutrino has been field hardened for years and is being used to support mission-critical applications in everything from planes, trains and automobiles to medical equipment


 
 

 


and the largest core routers that run the Internet.  The new BlackBerry Tablet OS leverages and builds upon the many proven strengths of this QNX Neutrino architecture to support a professional grade tablet experience and to redefine the possibilities for mobile computing.

An OS Built for Developers
The Neutrino based microkernel architecture in the BlackBerry Tablet OS delivers exceptional performance, high scalability, Common Criteria EAL 4+ security, and support for industry standard tools that are already familiar to hundreds of thousands of developers.  The OS is fully POSIX compliant enabling easy portability of C-based code, supports Open GL for 2D and 3D graphics intensive applications like gaming, and will run applications built in Adobe Mobile AIR as well as the new BlackBerry® WebWorks™ app platform announced today (which will allow apps to be written to run on BlackBerry PlayBook tablets as well as BlackBerry smartphones with BlackBerry® 6). The BlackBerry Tablet OS will also support Java enabling developers to easily bring their existing BlackBerry 6 Java applications to the BlackBerry Tablet OS environment.


Key features and specifications of the BlackBerry PlayBook include:

BlackBerry Tablet OS with support for symmetric multiprocessing

RIM Announces New BlackBerry Enterprise Application Development Platform to Accelerate Creation of “Super Apps” for Business

BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware to Ease Development of “Super App” Enterprise Applications for BlackBerry Smartphones

San Francisco, CA – BlackBerry DEVCON 2010 – Onstage at the BlackBerry developer conference, DEVCON 2010, in San Francisco today, Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM, TSX: RIM) previewed BlackBerry® Enterprise Application Middleware – an innovative application development platform that will enable commercial enterprise and corporate developers to more easily build “super app” enterprise applications and services for BlackBerry® smartphones. IBM Interactive and customer ING DIRECT, Oracle, and SAP joined RIM on-stage at the conference today to present their plans to enable “super app” development solutions and services using the new platform.

BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware will include a set of application programming interfaces (APIs), libraries and server software that will make it easier for developers to build “super apps” that can access instant data push and alerts, use efficient file transfers with enterprise applications, and make it easy to query a user’s device for geo-location, presence, current camera image, calendar availability, device type, and much more. It will be possible to use it with popular application development platforms such as IBM WebSphere, Oracle Fusion Middleware and the mobility platform from SAP and Sybase, and can be integrated with these platforms to give access to developers.

These capabilities are combined with the advantages of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution offering real-time communication via true push technology, cost-effective data usage, efficiency over carrier networks, easy web-based administration of smartphones, servers, users, groups and applications, single sign-on, and secure wireless access to enterprise systems.

“BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware will make it easier to build essential enterprise functions in BlackBerry smartphone applications that are currently not available or easily built on any other mobile platform,” said Alan Brenner, Senior Vice President at Research In Motion. “It also presents new opportunities for innovation in enterprise application development by our strategic alliance partners, enterprise customers, systems integrators and independent software vendor community.”

 
 

 
IBM Interactive, Oracle and SAP are currently using BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware in early trials.
 
 
IBM Interactive, which specializes in providing clients with a unique think-tank environment to collaboratively work with user experience, industry and technology experts to plan, develop and launch mobile, next-generation business solutions, is utilizing the features of BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware together with IBM WebSphere to help develop a business-to-consumer application with ING DIRECT.

“The use of mobile technologies has become second nature across both the consumer and the enterprise landscape,” says Kelly Chambliss, IBM’s Application Innovation Services Leader for North America. “By extending the reach of information and transactions via mobile devices, we are helping our clients tap into new opportunities to both differentiate the customer experience and transform the workforce. BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware allows us to take advantage of our deep mobile expertise to help our clients realize the power of an interconnected planet.”

“ING DIRECT Canada has a suite of secure, simple and highly functional mobile applications and we are excited about extending this functionality using the new BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware technology,” said Charaka Kithulegoda, Chief Information Officer at ING DIRECT Canada.

“BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware provides us with a platform to offer our Clients a richer and more innovative experience when using our mobile banking applications for BlackBerry smartphones. We’re pleased that we can utilize BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware to offer our Clients some of the robust and integrated features that they are accustomed to with the native BlackBerry applications. The use of features like push notifications – for a subscribed alerting service – engages the Client by capturing their attention at the right time. Alerts can provide important information to the Client and provides ING DIRECT Canada with a just-in-time messaging platform.”

Oracle is integrating BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware into Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) to enable Oracle developers to build innovative enterprise applications that can communicate with their BlackBerry workforce using development tools that they are already familiar with.

“Together, Oracle Application Development Framework and the new BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware libraries allow developers to enrich their enterprise applications without having to be a BlackBerry or mobile expert,” said Oracle’s Chief Architect and senior vice president, Ted Farrell.  “This enables Oracle customers to communicate, gather information and make business decisions quicker and easier than ever before.”

SAP continues to co-innovate with RIM to offer new opportunities to extend the reach of SAP Business Suite on BlackBerry smartphones.  Through close integration of BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware with the mobility platform from SAP and Sybase, partners and


 
 

 


customers will be able to quickly build mobile applications that connect business data to their workers on BlackBerry smartphones.   

“We see ever-increasing demand for mobile applications that allow users real-time visibility into their businesses,” said Kevin Nix, senior vice president, Enterprise Mobility, SAP AG.  “With the combination of SAP applications and our mobility platform, together with BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware, we will simplify the application development process and increase the diversity and availability of SAP mobile applications for BlackBerry smartphones to help customers unwire their enterprise.” 
 
 
RIM will be previewing the first BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware libraries -- Alert/Notifications Push, Files Transfer, and Device Information to Server App - at BlackBerry DEVCON this week.

Alerts/Notifications Push Library – Enables developers to build secure instant delivery of data between back-end enterprise systems and BlackBerry smartphones in under a hundred lines of code. Data can be pushed to an application on the device or directly to the BlackBerry inbox, calendar or tasks via personal identification number (PIN), email or phone number. This library is ideal for simplifying the delivery of enterprise work flow to BlackBerry smartphones for immediate response by mobile workers rather than waiting for them to get back to their desk to respond. Use cases include a travel request sent to a manager’s BlackBerry smartphone for approval; a patient status update sent to a doctor or nurse; product price change requests sent in by a salesperson; an alert to an executive about a decrease in revenues/margins as the information becomes available; or a system alert sent to an IT manager. It can also be used to add new service features to business-to-consumer applications, such as mobile banking applications. Data input to the application on a BlackBerry smartphone is securely transferred or reconciled with back-end systems.

File Transfer Library – Enables developers to build applications with fast and efficient large file transfers between back-end systems and BlackBerry smartphones, and all in under a hundred lines of code. Data can be programmed to be viewed only, downloaded, uploaded or saved to device memory or a media card on a BlackBerry smartphone. The complexities of efficient wireless data transmission are automated and kept transparent to developers so that they can focus on application logic. For example, a medical records application can attach image files to a patient’s medical record, with the option to open or preview the record, or view the list of available images before it is downloaded to the BlackBerry smartphone.

Device Information to Server App Library – Enables querying of a device by back-end enterprise systems that can be built into a mobile application in under a hundred lines of code. Examples of data that can be queried include geo-location, presence, current camera image, calendar availability, device type, and much more. For example, an enterprise system can scan the status of a technician’s BlackBerry smartphone to find the technician closest to respond to a customer's urgent request. This is an ideal function to build into applications that involve time-sensitive workflows requiring rapid response, including logistics and dispatch systems.



 
 

 


The initial set of BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware libraries are expected to be available in closed beta later this year. Additional libraries are expected to be released in 2011.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RIM Launches Next Generation BlackBerry Web Application Platform, Releases Code to Open Source Community

New BlackBerry WebWorks app platform merges simplicity of HTML5 with the power of BlackBerry services, true multi-tasking, true Push technology and more

Developer community can now access and contribute to the BlackBerry open web application platform and tooling components

San Francisco, CA – BlackBerry DEVCON 2010 - Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced its next-generation web-based development platform, BlackBerry® WebWorks™, which enables web developers to build full-featured applications for BlackBerry smartphones entirely in HTML-5, CSS and JavaScript. With the new web application platform, developers can leverage their HTML skills to create rich, integrated web applications for BlackBerry® smartphones that take advantage of advanced features through APIs and services, just as BlackBerry Java® applications can do today.

The new BlackBerry WebWorks platform brings together existing BlackBerry web development tools as well as new tools and platform services. It provides developers with a comprehensive toolset for creating rich applications that offer customers the benefits of deep integration with core BlackBerry features, true multi-tasking, true Push technology and access to the full range of BlackBerry services, such as the Locate service or the newly announced BlackBerry Advertising Service.

“BlackBerry developers have discovered the value of building web applications that can leverage the unique characteristics of the BlackBerry Platform, such as running in always-on mode and integrating with native BlackBerry applications,” said David Yach, CTO for Software at Research In Motion. “The new BlackBerry WebWorks platform takes the power of existing web tools and enhances and adds to them in order to allow developers to build sophisticated applications using their existing HTML5 skill sets with no compromise in functionality or performance.”

BlackBerry WebWorks also includes updates to the web application packager, new web APIs and the BlackBerry Web Plug-Ins 2.5.



-more-
 
 
 

 
 
Web application packager 1.5
The web application packager is used by developers to package their web applications in the same way a BlackBerry Java® application is packaged, and with the same file formats. BlackBerry web applications can then be distributed via BlackBerry App World™, BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, OTA (over-the-air) or BlackBerry® Enterprise Server.

BlackBerry Web APIs
BlackBerry WebWorks includes a set of new web extensions that enable a deeper integration with native applications and other functions of the handset.
·  
Send a text message from within the application
·  
Read call log data from the phone application, check if the phone is currently in an active call, check the number of missed calls
·  
Play an audio file as well as create APIs for playing, pausing, stopping and seeking of the audio file from within the application’s UI

Web Plug-Ins 2.5
Updates to the Web Plug-Ins for BlackBerry WebWorks include multiple entry points, which give developers the ability to start their application in the background, in addition to launching from the homescreen or a download folder. Applications can also continue to run in the background. Web Plug-Ins 2.5 also gives developers the ability to cache web pages and content to the handset's system memory for faster performance.

Open Source
RIM is working with the open source developer community to allow developers to access and contribute to the BlackBerry open web application platform and tooling components and share in the evolution of the web platform. In addition to sharing source code for the BlackBerry web platform, RIM is working with leading open source JavaScript framework companies DoJo, GitHub, JQuery, Nitobi and Sencha to encourage developers to create web applications with advanced web and AJAX functionality.

The BlackBerry open web application platform offers ease of development and seamless integration with the BlackBerry platform. Developers will be able to quickly package web assets (HTML, CSS3, JavaScript and access to local resources) into easily deployable applications that take advantage of the BlackBerry platform’s unique value and Super App qualities such as access to hardware functionality, access to Push, access to contextual location services, access to native applications and integration with BlackBerry services for advertising, analytics and payment services.

“RIM has always firmly supported industry standards and believes in embracing the needs of the developer community,” said Alan Brenner, Senior Vice President, BlackBerry Platform. “We started supporting open source communities through our work on the BlackBerry 6 WebKit browser and the response from the open source community has already been very positive. We are tremendously excited to see where the developer community will take this initiative and the code that we are presenting.”

-more-


 
 

 

The BlackBerry open web application platform initiative allows an application to fully integrate with a BlackBerry smartphone, using the same security, packaging, code signing and distribution infrastructure that BlackBerry Java applications use. Further, developers who utilize the open source initiative are able to create these rich applications using familiar web tools.

RIM is working closely with leading open source JavaScript framework providers to help accelerate mobile development and allow the open source community to help evolve the BlackBerry open web application platform.

"The Dojo Foundation is ecstatic about RIM's open source initiative. BlackBerry 6, integrated with our mobile strategy (dojofoundation.org/mobile/), is a platform that will give web application developers extreme control over developing mobile web applications. We are thrilled to be working with RIM to build mobile platform support into several Dojo Foundation projects."
- Dylan Schiemann, CEO at SitePen, Inc., and VP of the Dojo Foundation

"New innovations in BlackBerry 6 have made it possible for PhoneGap developers to build engaging and sophisticated BlackBerry apps. The new BlackBerry open web application platform will further encourage developers in the growing PhoneGap community to write more apps for BlackBerry smartphones."
- Andre Charland, CEO at Nitobi Inc.

“We're very excited that the full power of the BlackBerry platform will now become easily accessible to Sencha developers. HTML5 is the new lingua franca of mobile, and as the first framework to fully leverage it, we're looking forward to putting it to work for BlackBerry developers.”
- Abe Elias, CEO of Sencha

RIM Launches BlackBerry Advertising Service

New service gives developers the ability to add advertisements from a large number of advertising networks in their applications, with only a few lines of code

San Francisco, CA – BlackBerry DEVCON 2010– September 27, 2010 Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today launched its advertising service for the BlackBerry® Application Platform. The BlackBerry Advertising Service helps developers integrate advertising in their BlackBerry® smartphone applications quickly and easily, while also allowing advertisers, agencies and brands to work with a broad selection of advertising networks.

“The BlackBerry Application Platform is providing a truly powerful foundation for our developer community. The BlackBerry Advertising Service offers developers a quick and easy way to integrate advertising in their applications. The service reduces the commercial and technical complexity of enabling ads within an application and offers developers a new avenue of monetization,” said Alan Brenner, Senior Vice President, BlackBerry Platform at Research In Motion.

“We are thrilled to see the market continue to evolve providing advertisers, agencies and brands with multiple options for meeting their mobile advertising platform needs,” said Michael Becker, managing director of the Mobile Marketing Association for North America.  “The MMA congratulates RIM on the BlackBerry Advertising Service and its efforts to ease marketer’s abilities to integrate mobile into their advertising strategies.”

With just a few lines of code, developers can include advertising in applications that are relevant to their users and tie into core BlackBerry smartphone features. RIM is enabling new monetization opportunities for BlackBerry developers by simplifying the integration of advertising both on the development side and on the commercial side. Through a single relationship with RIM, a developer has access to RIM’s many advertising network partners and  can select which networks will get their inventory. Agencies and advertisers will be able to work with the advertising networks they know, leveraging existing relationships, while maintaining control of their creative processes. Under the program, developers will receive an industry standard 60 percent of the advertising revenue.

-more-

 
 

 

The BlackBerry Advertising Service includes three key components: a simple-to-integrate SDK, a mediation platform and a growing slate of advertising networks.

The SDK allows developers to support both standardized MMA advertisements and HTML-5 Rich Media, as well as ads that have one-click in-application access to core BlackBerry applications, such as Contacts, Calendar, the Media Player and BlackBerry App World™.

The mediation platform is a single console for developers to manage their ad allocations and access analytics, tracking and reporting features, which provide immediate feedback on ad metrics including fill rates, ad performance and earnings. The mediation platform and SDK is also open to many of the leading independent measurement and analytics solutions for both developers and advertisers.

At launch, the BlackBerry Advertising Service will offer developers and advertisers the opportunity to work with many advertising networks including Amobee, Jumptap, Lat49, Millennial Media and Mojiva. Advertising networks such as Buzzcity, NavTeq, Placecast, Sympatico, Transpera, Where and xAD, as well as rich media advertising platform Medialets, are expected to join the service in the coming months.

“This new Advertising Service not only brings new channels of revenue to our developer community, but also provides them with a single relationship through RIM to simplify the commercial and technical complexity of mobile advertising,” Brenner said. “We also feel that it is important that agencies and brands have full control of the creative process and have worked to provide features in the SDK that will allow them to bring dynamic and relevant ads to BlackBerry smartphone users.”

Several BlackBerry® Alliance members have already tested the BlackBerry Advertising Service as part of an early access program and are looking forward to the opportunities it brings.

"The BlackBerry Advertising Service is great for developers looking to monetize their applications with little effort. The ease of use, rich content and device integration makes the new ad SDK a perfect fit for many applications on the market today," said Margaret Glover-Campbell, Vice President, Marketing & Public Relations, Multiplied Media.

"The BlackBerry Advertising Service empowers us to offer free ad-enabled LiveScreens, increasing the reach of our personalization products for the brands we work with," said Michael Kosic, Partner at Octave Ventures. "Our customers want free, our brands want reach, we need returns -- all are coming together with this new service and SDK."

“Implementing the BlackBerry Advertising Service in our apps is going to allow our customers to unlock the marketing potential for their advertisers in reaching the prized BlackBerry audience," said Marlon Rodrigues, Director of Business Development at Polar Mobile. “This will put the ad supported model back into play in a big way as advertisers see what experiences are possible on BlackBerry smartphones.”

The BBM Social Platform is expected to be available in the spring of 2011.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
 
RIM Executives Adopt Automatic Securities Disposition Plans
 

Waterloo, ON - Research In Motion Limited (“RIM” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced that Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, RIM’s Co-Chief Executive Officers, have each adopted new automatic securities disposition plans (“ASDPs”) in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 10b5-1 (“Rule 10b5-1”), applicable Canadian provincial securities legislation, including the guidance under Ontario Securities Commission’s Staff Notice 55-701 (the “Canadian Legislation”), and RIM’s Insider Trading Policy.

Rule 10b5-1 and the Canadian Legislation permit insiders to adopt written ASDPs (generally referred to in the United States as “Rule 10b5-1 Plans”) to sell, donate or otherwise transfer shares in the future (including upon exercise of stock options) according to the ASDP on an automatic basis regardless of any subsequent material non-public information they receive.  Once an ASDP is established, the insider is not permitted to exercise any further discretion or influence over how dispositions will occur under the ASDP.  RIM recognizes that insiders may have reasons unrelated to their assessment of a company or its prospects in determining to effect transactions in that company’s common shares under an ASDP.  These reasons might include, for example, charitable donations, tax and estate planning, the establishment of a trust, the balancing of assets and diversification of investments in an orderly manner, or other personal reasons.  RIM also recognizes that many of its officers and employees have a substantial portion of their personal net worth represented by securities of the Company.

In addition to meeting the basic requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Canadian Legislation, RIM has in place additional measures that are designed to conform with “best practices” relating to ASDPs.  Those measures include the following: (i) ASDPs may only be adopted during a trading window; (ii) a waiting period of three months will generally be required between the adoption of the ASDP and the first disposition under the ASDP; (iii) an ASDP should generally have a duration of 12-24 months; (iv) the ASDP must contain meaningful restrictions on the ability of the insider to modify or terminate the ASDP; and (v) the ASDP should generally provide for regular sales of smaller amounts (relative to an insider’s holdings) over a period of time rather than large sales during a short period of time after adoption of the ASDP.  In addition, RIM’s Insider Trading Policy requires all ASDPs to be pre-cleared by the Compensation, Nomination & Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of RIM’s Board of Directors, which is comprised of independent directors.  The Committee will also consider such other “best practices” as they exist at the time an insider adopts an ASDP and may impose such additional requirements, or grant such exceptions, as it determines are necessary or appropriate.

The new ASDPs are summarized below:

Jim Balsillie – The objective of Mr. Balsillie’s ASDPs is to facilitate the donation of 351,868 RIM shares to a registered charitable foundation established by Mr. Balsillie as well as the sale of 351,867 RIM shares by Mr. Balsillie over the term of the ASDPs.  The RIM shares to be donated and sold by Mr. Balsillie are issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted to Mr. Balsillie and include 253,735 shares underlying stock options that will expire in January 2011.  The foundation will immediately sell the shares received from Mr. Balsillie.  Donations and sales under Mr. Balsillie’s ASDPs will not commence until after the expiry of a waiting period.  While Mr. Balsillie’s ASDPs have a term of two years, it is currently expected that dispositions under the ASDPs will likely be completed within six months following the initial adoption of the ASDPs.  Mr. Balsillie currently beneficially owns approximately 27.5 million RIM shares, including the shares that will be subject to the ASDP (determined in accordance with the rules of

 
 

 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and including shares underlying stock options that are exercisable by Mr. Balsillie within 60 days).
 
 
Mike Lazaridis – Mr. Lazaridis’ ASDPs provide for the disposition of 1,050,000 RIM shares that are issuable upon exercise of stock options granted to Mr. Lazaridis, including 600,000 shares underlying stock options that will expire in January 2011.  Of the 1,050,000 shares, 350,000 will be donated by Mr. Lazaridis to a registered charitable foundation established by Mr. Lazaridis and the remaining 700,000 shares will be sold over the term of the ASDPs, which generally provides for weekly dispositions, subject to certain volume and other limits.  In addition, Mr. Lazaridis will effect weekly charitable donations under the ASDPs to the foundation, subject to volume limits and a limit order price, over the term of the ASDPs until the aggregate amount of such donations, together with the value of the donation of 300,000 of the shares issuable upon exercise of the stock options described above, equals Cdn$100 million.  Mr. Lazaridis will also effect weekly sales under the ASDPs, subject to volume limits and a limit order price, until the aggregate amount of such sales, together with the proceeds from the sales of 600,000 of the shares issuable upon exercise of the stock options described above, equals Cdn$200 million.  Donations and sales under Mr. Lazaridis’ ASDPs will occur over the 18-month term of the ASDPs and will not commence until after the expiry of a waiting period.  The foundation will immediately sell the shares received from Mr. Lazaridis.  Mr. Lazaridis currently beneficially owns approximately 29.2 million million RIM shares, including the shares that will be subject to the ASDPs (determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and including shares underlying stock options that are exercisable within 60 days).

Dispositions by the insiders under their respective ASDPs will be reported in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws (RIM’s insiders are exempt from filing insider reports under U.S. securities laws) and on Forms 144 filed with the SEC for sales on the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Each such filing will bear a notation to advise readers that the dispositions relate to an ASDP.

Other insiders of the Company may from time to time adopt ASDPs during trading windows.  RIM will issue a press release to announce the adoption of any other ASDPs by its directors or executive officers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New SDK From RIM Allows Developers to Create Adobe AIR Applications for BlackBerry PlayBook

·  
SDK integrates new extensions for Adobe AIR that have been highly optimized for the BlackBerry Tablet OS
·  
Developers can immediately begin building uncompromised applications for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet
·  
Early feedback from developers highlights ease of development and high performance

Waterloo, ON Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today launched the new BlackBerry® Tablet OS SDK for Adobe® AIR® at the Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles. The new Software Developer Kit (SDK) enables developers to quickly and easily create AIR applications for the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet using Adobe's powerful, familiar and industry-leading development tools. With the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR, developers can leverage the uniquely powerful capabilities of the BlackBerry Tablet OS, as well as access all of the richness of Adobe AIR, to deliver incredibly engaging and high-performing AIR applications for the BlackBerry PlayBook.

“The BlackBerry PlayBook, with its dual-core processor and multi-processing OS, is a multi-tasking powerhouse that is also the world’s first tablet to be built from the metal up to run Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR applications in a fully integrated, fully optimized fashion,” said  David Yach, Chief Technology Officer, Software, Research In Motion. “The new SDK for the BlackBerry PlayBook unleashes a wealth of opportunity for the Adobe and BlackBerry development communities to easily create value-added applications and experiences for customers and we are extremely excited by the positive feedback received from developers in early trials.”

The BlackBerry PlayBook with BlackBerry Tablet OS supports Adobe AIR 2.5 and Adobe Flash® Player 10.1 at its core. This integrated support and the BlackBerry PlayBook’s exceptional processing power (including a 1 GHz dual-core processor, true symmetric multiprocessing and multi-threaded rendering) give developers the ability to deliver incredibly rich content and applications with highly-responsive and fluid touch screen experiences.

“The close collaboration between RIM and the Adobe AIR team has achieved an implementation which we expect to be the first to include high performance optimizations for
 
 
 

 
 
tablet devices,” said David Wadhwani, senior vice president, Creative and Interactive Business Solutions at Adobe. “This, combined with great tooling integration and full Flash Player 10.1 support, makes the BlackBerry PlayBook an outstanding platform for more than three million Flash developers.”

Building the Best Flash/AIR Applications for Tablet Computing
RIM has designed the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR to allow developers to leverage the uniquely powerful capabilities of the BlackBerry PlayBook and Adobe AIR 2.5 to build industry-leading applications that provide a distinctly compelling experience for BlackBerry PlayBook users. The new SDK provides developers with support for:

·  
Hardware-accelerated playback of video and graphics-intensive content, both in the browser and within AIR applications, enabling a smooth, high fidelity viewing experience on the BlackBerry PlayBook, even with up to 1080p HD content
·  
Web View to enable AIR apps to display HTML and Flash content and to leverage the BlackBerry PlayBook's WebKit browser
·  
UI components that have been built specifically for the touch screen experience on a tablet device, including support for multi-touch and gestures
·  
Powerful APIs to advanced features such as the front and rear facing cameras, accelerometer, geo-location, in-app payments and more
·  
Application notifications, which allow developers to bring events generated by AIR applications immediately to the user’s attention, even if the application is running in the background
·  
Seamless communication between AIR apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook, allowing the creation of “Super App” experiences
·  
Extending Adobe AIR applications to use native C++ extensions, providing developers with the ability to write part of their application in the BlackBerry Tablet OS's native code (subject to availability of the upcoming BlackBerry Tablet OS native SDK)
·  
Porting existing Adobe AIR applications quickly and easily to the BlackBerry PlayBook

What Developers are Saying about Building Flash/AIR Apps for BlackBerry PlayBook
Several BlackBerry® Alliance members are already working with the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR as part of an early access program.

“eUnity enables health care professionals to access and manipulate full quality medical images from a Flash-enabled web browser,” said Steve Rankin, President and CEO of Client Outlook. “Bringing our application to the tablet form factor for the first time was incredibly fast and easy using the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR. In fact we had eUnity running on the BlackBerry PlayBook in less than 2 hours! We are excited about the opportunity to access our innovative server technology through the power of Flash to provide our healthcare clientele with the ability to dynamically interact with diagnostic images that render amazingly fast, on an ultra portable device.”

“With help from Adobe's development tools we've been able to create an exceptional eReading application that will be pre-loaded on the BlackBerry PlayBook," said Dan Leibu, CTO of Kobo. "The SDK enabled us to achieve the right level of performance for the delivery of rich reading content and a world-class reading experience."

 
 

 


“Mobile and social technologies are the future of enterprise computing,” said Kendall Collins, chief marketing officer, salesforce.com. “The BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR will enable us to seamlessly deliver real-time collaboration with Chatter Mobile to business users around the world on the BlackBerry PlayBook”

“SAP customers want to free their SAP® applications from the confines of the desktop and truly mobilize their workforces,” said Nicholas Brown, senior vice president, Mobility Market Development, SAP AG.  “Analytic dashboards are a clear use case in which everyone from the C-level executive to line-of-business manager to sales rep can analyze and access information in real time.  The BlackBerry PlayBook SDK for Adobe AIR made it incredibly easy for us to build applications using Flash development tools– it took our developers just a couple of days to convert an existing SAP application into an AIR application for BlackBerry PlayBook. It looks impressive and most importantly is incredible easy to use on the new tablet.”

“The BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR, allowed us to create a highly engaging experience utilizing existing coding knowledge, which makes creating PlayBook applications extremely fast," said Brett Cortese, CEO, Universal Mind, Inc. "We simply dropped the SDK into Flash Builder and the controls were available and the ball was rolling."

Getting Started
Adobe AIR developers can start building their applications for BlackBerry PlayBook today and will be able to submit their AIR applications for BlackBerry PlayBook to BlackBerry App World™ later this year. The BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR and the BlackBerry PlayBook simulator are both currently available in beta and can be downloaded for free from www.blackberry.com/developers/tabletos.

Developers at Adobe MAX interested in learning about development opportunities for BlackBerry PlayBook can stop by RIM’s booth #107. Attendees can also join in on a series of RIM-hosted sessions at the show focused on how to start developing AIR applications and web content for the BlackBerry Tablet OS.
