Back at DevCon Asia 2011, we learned that BlackBerry 7.1 SDK would be offically released out of beta.  Now it looks like it’s available on the BlackBerry website for all developers to download.  Some major new features included in this SDK are:

• NFC P2P
  The NFC Peer-to-Peer API allows applications to share files and other data through NFC technology initiated communication with Bluetooth® handover.
• FM Radio
  The FM Radio API is designed to give applications the ability to manipulate FM tuner settings on BlackBerry smartphones with supporting hardware.
• Profiles API
  The Profiles API brings more Super App features to applications, allowing them to query current profile settings and adjust their own application behavior accordingly or, conversely, intelligently change the current profile to match the user’s current activities.
