Comment RIM needs to fix their development tools first (Score 1) 244
They suck.
1. The simulators are buggy, slow, and prone to crashing.
2. Their documentation is either non-existant or full of errors.
3. Their APIs are woefully under featured.
I've been building a Mobile development team for the past 2 years (iOS, BB, Android) and I am constantly amazed at how much more productive my iOS developers are even through most everyone on my team has a Java background and RIM's OS and environment are based around J2ME and Eclipse. Until they fix their issues, they will not be able to attract enough quality developers to fill their market place with quality apps.
