hi all blackberry device application is working on blackberry playbook tablet ?
Blackberry playbook is totally different than Blackberry Smartphone. For application development current Blackberry Playbook comes with ADOBE AIR SDK . In future they will support (some articles says that) both Android and JavaME apps . As of now J2ME applications will not work on Blackberry Playbook.

I developed one application in Blackberry OS 6.I deployed that app in to Blackberry world successfully.But it is not working in Blackberry OS 10.I am getting following error:
Unsupported for this device
Please help me how to run application in OS 10.
Thanks in Advance.
OS10 is a completely different system. It no longer supports the BB6/7 Java environment. You will need to port your app to one of the new supported platforms:
http://developer.blackberry.com/develop/platform_choice/index.html
Cascades (c++ & qml)
Webworks
Android
Adobe Air
With WebWorks it is possible to run your application in both BlackBerry 6 and BlackBerry 10, you may need to make some changes to your code, but it is certainly possible and there are plenty of resources available.
You can start from here.
Specifically BlackBerry states:
Your BlackBerry WebWorks app can be targeted to run on a variety of
BlackBerry device models or ported to a different OS, such as iOS or
Android.
Developing your app with BlackBerry WebWorks gives you the flexibility
to target users of the latest BlackBerry devices and those who are
using older models. Depending on the OS you want to target, versions
of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK available for:
BlackBerry 10
BlackBerry PlayBook
BlackBerry 7 and earlier
See here for a tutorial on creating an application which is able to work on old and new BB devices (Simple Hello World application).
A good article to look at can be found here, which explains some of the fundamentals and differences with webworks.
I just started with Blackberry application development. What are differences between J2ME MIDlets and Blackberry RIMlets? Which is better for GUI Applications for Blackberry?
One of the main difference is that : RIMLet only can work on BlackBerry devices while MIDlets can work on any devices that have the Java Virtual Machine installed on it.

Say I want to develop applications for BlackBerry, but I only have a phone with Windows Mobile and for whatever reason I cannot switch to BlackBerry or buy a new phone.
Is there any BlackBerry emulator for Windows Mobile that would allow me to run apps on Windows Mobile 6? I have HTC HD2.
P.S. I'm not interested in emulators for any other platform.
There is no Blackberry emulator that you can run on a Windows Mobile device. RIM does provide Blackberry simulators for most of its devices that you can run on a Windows PC in companionship with your development environment, though.
Will a Blackberry smartphone application written in the Java api work on the Playbook without modification?
According to RIM, once the JDE player is released, they will have to be re-packaged which may require re-compiling, to run on the PlayBook. The same applies to Android applications. In either case you will not be able to download native JDE or Android apps and run them on the PlayBook.
The only application SDK path that allows for BlackBerry Smartphone applications to run both on BBOS, Playbook and BlackBerry 10 is the HTML5 WebWorks SDK

You may also be interested in cloning bbUI.js, a free ui framework that works across BlackBerry devices going back to OS5. bbUI.js targets platform specific native features, like access to hardware apis, while providing a consistent feel.

Best of luck to you.
Yes, RIM has announced that they will release a virtual machine which will play your existing blackberry app. I'm not sure if developers have to re-submit their blackberry apps though.
Playbook will also support Android apps, but developers will have to recompile their apps and submit those to App World.
BlackBerry Tablet OS is basically a handicapped QNX so can I somehow develop apps for the tablet as a usual QNX application, by using gcc and PhAB for photon gui?
How do I develop apps for the Blackberry tablet without use of Adobe AIR?
In addition to AIR, you can use RIM's WebWorks SDK. RIM has also announced "upcoming" support for native (C/C++), Android and JavaME apps on the PlayBook. They have even demoed the use of Android apps just a few days ago at BlackBerry World.
