Today is an exciting day for both BlackBerry users and developers.  RIM has just announced that they are now offering BlackBerry Push Service to all BlackBerry developers.  What does this mean for us?  Pretty much, all these applications where content and updates get sent to your BlackBerry will just work that much better.  Let’s look at an application such as Weather Bug.  Updates for that application are pushed to your BlackBerry instantly.  Instead of it searching for new stuff every few minutes, it gets sent to you as it comes out (just as your email works).

So the services being offered come in two different formats:

• BlackBerry Push Essentials is a free service that developers can incorporate into their applications and allows them to push content to their customers with unparalleled immediacy
• BlackBerry Push Plus which has a free tier and paid tiers, provides developers with notification that their push has been delivered. If a content provider needs to get information to someone, they can tell if the target device has received the push.
