BlackBerry PlayBook OS User's Guide
The BlackBerry PlayBook OS User's Guide is intended as background material for people developing apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook OS.
This guide tells you how to:
- Use the BlackBerry PlayBook OS runtime environment. Think of this guide as the companion how-to doc for the Utilities . Assuming there's a system prompt waiting for input, this guide is intended to help you learn how to interact with that prompt.
- Perform such traditional system administration topics as security, etc.
Although there aren't many opportunities for a system prompt on a BlackBerry device, this guide may still provide useful information about the QNX Neutrino RTOS that the BlackBerry PlayBook OS is based on.
