Access to memory

The BlackBerry® Java® environment is designed to inhibit applications from causing problems accidentally or maliciously in other applications or on the BlackBerry device. BlackBerry device applications can write only to the BlackBerry device memory that the BlackBerry Java® Virtual Machine uses; they cannot access the virtual memory or the persistent storage of other applications (unless they are specifically granted access to do so). Custom applications can only access persistent storage or user data, or communicate with other applications, through specific APIs. Research In Motion must digitally sign applications that use certain BlackBerry APIs, to provide an audit trail of applications that use sensitive APIs.
