We would expect WiFi to be on the device in order to deal with any
application that handles large amounts of data. WiFi also helps for any
app that looks to manage battery life as well as augment location based on.

I would like to see Skype on BlackBerry devices as well as Google Voice. it is time the new management at RIM listens to its customers.

Have you tried the Playbook dev APIs? Development for BB10 will basically be the same as that, although with the added value of Cascades.
From what developers have said and written about Playbook OS development, it’s pretty straightforward, especially as it can integrate far more programming languages than the current BB smartphone OS.

When you Kyle are already skeptical… Then I feel a bit morbid still developing for BlackBerry.

I fully agree with you that developing the current SmartPhone OS and it’s corresponding APIs (I just know it from OS4.2 up to OS 7.x) is quite a long term process…

But if certain API functionality is not present in the initial release then this mean that only RIM is able to offer applications with some ‘decent’ functionality… and that is actually the point where I am loosing my confidence – since way to many things to do, fix and extend.

That would be great, but I’m skeptical. How long did it take to build all those APIs and create the Super App experience that you’re talking about? BlackBerry 10 has only been around a year and there’s probably a couple more years of development behind that. Fingers crossed though.

I actually expect WAY MORE! – As developer I expect the same functionality (APIs) I am currently have as BlackBerry Java developer. So actually IMHO it’s essential e.g. being able to integrate an App into certain menus or adding a own section into the device options – just to name to.

One of the great things of BlackBerry development in the past was, that you could integrate yourself in almost everything – this will be mandatory for any upcoming OS.
