Looks like RIM’s preparations for OS 5.0 are in full swing. Kevin spotted the fact that RIM just released the BlackBerry JDE 5.0 for all the developers out there. It will let developers get a leg up on the new features in OS 5.0. I just cant wait to see what the devs will be able to do with this one!
