Using Adobe Flash Builder 4.2 and the BlackBerry SDK, Universal Mind created an app that shows off the visually engaging features of the PlayBook, as well as its ability to tap into data storage and incorporate live data feeds. Designers created wireframes in Adobe Fireworks CS5 in the concepting stage and then handed them off to the user experience designer, who applied visual designs inside Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. The team then transferred visual designs from Photoshop to Flash Builder 4.2. All data and imagery was created in house and integrated seamlessly, giving the appearance of a full-functioning application. The BlackBerry SDK contains pre-built controls, such as scrolling lists and gestures that the team skinned and incorporated as visual elements from screen to screen.
