            Description

            The HotSpot Internet browser on the Blackberry 9000+ platform has general support for ICEfaces components, but there is a substantial list of components with known issues on this platform (see below). Support for Blackberry devices is expected to improve dramatically once the new Blackberry browser based on WebKit is available.

              As the necessary browser platform support for these issues is not currently available on BlackBerry, these limitations cannot be overcome, but must be designed around in terms of the components and features that are used when developing ICEfaces applications for use on the BlackBerry platform.

              Things should improve dramatically once the WebKit-based Blackberry browser is available.
