Research In Motion today launched the BlackBerry Mobile Data System (MDS) with support for web services including XML-based tools to simplify the development of new applications.
Mike Lazaridis, RIM's president and co-chief executive, said: "BlackBerry MDS with support for web services gives developers an option for creating applications in addition to existing browser and Java options.
"It removes the complexity from the application development process, reducing the amount of time and specialised skills required to create and deploy wireless applications."
Monica Basso, research director for the mobile and wireless practice at Gartner, added: "As enterprises realise the cost savings and business benefits of a Service Oriented Architecture they will look to adopt and adapt applications around web services.
"Leveraging web services for applications, and finding an easy way to bring them to the handheld, can be an attractive proposition for enterprises."
BlackBerry MDS with support for web services is available as an upgrade for BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0 customers and can be downloaded here.
