Each major revision of the BlackBerry OS has added a slew of interesting features. This chapter explores several of the new additions to the SDK in OS versions 5 and 6. RIM has incorporated several powerful and useful standardized libraries that can provide impressive benefits to your application. You will learn how to turn a BlackBerry into a portable handheld scanner that can read barcodes and connect users to associated information. You will also learn about SQLite, which offers a powerful mobile-optimized relational database, and the advanced graphics packages OpenGL and OpenVG. These various APIs will let your app offer the latest, most modern features to your users. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
