Developing for Blackberry tablet without AIR

Question

BlackBerry Tablet OS is basically a handicapped QNX so can I somehow develop apps for the tablet as a usual QNX application, by using gcc and PhAB for photon gui?

How do I develop apps for the Blackberry tablet without use of Adobe AIR?

Answer 1

In addition to AIR, you can use RIM's WebWorks SDK. RIM has also announced "upcoming" support for native (C/C++), Android and JavaME apps on the PlayBook. They have even demoed the use of Android apps just a few days ago at BlackBerry World.
