Research In Motion Opens New BlackBerry Push Service to Developers

Popular manufacturers of BlackBerry smartphones Research In Motion has just made the newest BlackBerry push service available to developers of current (and future) applications for the BlackBerry.

The following is a description of the new push service posted by Mike at Research In Motion:

“The BlackBerry Push Service enables developers to easily develop Java® applications or  BlackBerry Widgets that leverage RIM’s push technology either through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (for enterprises) or BlackBerry Internet Service infrastructure (for consumers), so that content providers can reliably push images, text, or audio content to millions of BlackBerry devices at once. Unlike alternative push solutions that can only notify users that new content is available for download because of push message size limitations, with the BlackBerry Push Service, full content (up to an industry-leading 8KB in size) is pushed to the device and made immediately available for use.”
