BlackBerry Email and MDS Services Simulator Package

BlackBerry Email and MDS Services Simulator Package provides a set of components and tools dedicated to enhance the functionality of the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator, allowing it to perform operations related to messaging, e-mail sending or web browsing.
The BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator emulates a BlackBerry 9500 handheld device, offering developers a method to test their mobile apps in a virtual environment, without requiring the presence of the actual physical handset.
However, there are features that cannot be tested with the help of this application and one example is the network-related tasks. The purpose of the BlackBerry Email and MDS Services Simulator Package is to overcome this issue, enabling developers to deploy apps that require network connectivity in order to function properly.
What this package actually does is emulate additional services within BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator, namely the MDS Connection Service, which is capable of processing Web access requests from various local aplications, managing HTTP and TCP/IP connections and granting the BlackBerry device access to Intranet through the BES Internet connection.
In order to function properly, the BlackBerry Email and MDS Services Simulator Package requires the Java Development Kit to be installed on your system, along with the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator. If the JDK pack is not detected on your computer, you are prompted to download it during the installation process.
To conclude, BlackBerry Email and MDS Services Simulator Package is a must-have tool for those who rely on the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator for accurately evaluating the performance of their app, especially if we are talking about a browser, an e-mail client, a chat client or any other utility that requires Internet access.
