BlackBerry Browser Applications

BlackBerry Browser Applications are simplified, web-based applications that you can use to push web content to the BlackBerry Browser on BlackBerry devices. Developers can create BlackBerry Browser Applications using BlackBerry templates or standard web development tools.

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server supports the following types of BlackBerry Browser Applications.

Type	Description

	whether users viewed the latest version of the web content that the Browser
	Push Engine has pushed to their BlackBerry devices.

	Browser on users' BlackBerry devices. To view the web content, users browse to
	the appropriate web address using the BlackBerry Browser.

BlackBerry Java Applications

BlackBerry Applications can range from simple applications, such as a game on BlackBerry devices, to complex applications with advanced UIs and various options for data management, storage, and network communication. BlackBerry Java Applications can use a client-only architecture (the applications do not send data to or receive data from a content server) or they can use a client/server application model (the applications send data to and receive data from a content server). For example, a developer can create a BlackBerry Java Application so that users can send data to and receive data from a central sales database.
