Web and WebWorks Development

We are pleased to provide an update to the BlackBerry® Widget SDK 1.0 Beta.

The BlackBerry Widget Packager 1.0 Beta 2 is a new tool that allows web developers to package up their web assets into BlackBerry Widgets (small, discrete, standalone web applications that use HTML, CSS and JavaScript).  A BlackBerry Widget looks, behaves and has the same security mechanisms as a native BlackBerry application. BlackBerry Widgets can be installed on a BlackBerry smartphone like any native application and can be extended to use device-specific information and data using the BlackBerry Widget APIs.

Since upgraded to the beta 2, I get a deprecated API warning. Is this common?

We have someone taking a look at this.. I'll let you know what we find.

I just talked with the development team.  That warning shouldn't be an issue and everything should function without problem.

Thanks for checking. All seems to be functioning properly.
