Hi guys.
All complaining and whining of that guy aside, I would like to mention that people who develop Blackberry Tablet OS apps right now that get accepted into the Blackberry app world (app store) by March 15 will receive
*FREE* Blackberry Playbook tablets.
Looks like dev license fees will be a little hefty after this initial "seed" period, so take advantage now and sign up now for the developer program even if you don't plan to dev in the short term just to take advantage of the free license you'll get now.
For those who don't want to gamble it all on Blackberry Tablet with your time and money,
Adobe AIR is an excellent solution as AIR apps are qualified for the ongoing
FREE BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK FOR EACH ACCEPTED APP developer promo ongoing 'til March 15.
AIR runs on Windows, OSX, Linux, Android 2.2+, Blackberry Tablet OS and as Apple iOS native apps (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch via the Adobe iOS Packager) so your app will have a lot of bases covered. AIR is pretty nice too because Actionscript 3 syntax/structure is pretty much Java now and easy to pick up, and you can also create AIR apps using the
free open source Flex SDK, which is pretty much like the JDK except you output
.SWF or AIR apps with it. Here's a free PDF ebook from O'Reilly on
getting started with Flex.
Here's some stuff to get you started on AIR/Blackberry Tab:

2,
3.
From what I've heard, for
each app you make that is accepted in the Blackberry App world, you will receive 1 free Blackberry Tab via a redeemable coupon at Amazon.com and all you will have to pay for is shipping. Hey, free blackberry tablet is free blackberry tablet right? Take advantage now! Cheerios and hope to have helped!
