Will other api become available?

Hi,

 

Now that os 2 has finally landed, will we developers get access to things like bluetooth, led, notifications? If yes, when?

 

I would really appreciate an answer to the question from someone in the know.

 

Regards

I'm hoping now the secrecy of the launch date for os 2 is finished, we can some kind of timeline of when these apis will become available (if they know themselves). Otherwise - its coming could mean days, weeks, months..

 

Rim: When will bluetooth be available to access in ndk? Please tell.

Thanks for the answers so far, what does For Future Consideration (Closed)  actually mean in this context?

it depends from RiM internal QA standards, but for me it looks like this feature will be implemented not so soon.

Re: Will other api become available?

such a shame, no decent apps unless we get access to bluetooth, camera, notifcations, pim. I wonder what is exactly going to be in the full release of ndk.
