i love to see again how much of enthusiasm and love is getting rim for there beloved customers, but i have a question that i couldn't find an answer for ? will bb10 apps work on os7 devices? and if don't why ?
consensus is no. the BB7 hardware will not support the BB10 software.
at least that's what we've been told which makes sense seeing as BB10 needs at least dual core processing power.
thank you jamezalexander but i already know that< im just wondering about the apps, like if a developer build an app for bb10, can we see it too in our bb7 devices ?
now i see, ok then if a developer built an app for bb10 and wants to make it work with bb7 , does he or she have to built from the start it again, or just convert it ?
Native App: Won't work. BB7 apps are written in Java. BB10 apps are C++. Two different languages, compilers, and API sets.
The Java apps I've written for BB5/6/7 have to be completely rewritten for BB10. Apps written for the Playbook, though, should work on BB10. Some native Playbook apps might need to adjust resolution/layout, but not a complete rewrite.
BB10 should also run Android and Air apps, just like the Playbook, since they are both QNX based. But just like right now with Playbook, there isn't cross-compatibility between QNX and BB7 (Playbook apps won't run on BB7 - BB7 apps won't run on the Playbook).
