This section shows how to install the Unwired Accelerator offline client application on a BlackBerry device via the BlackBerry Desktop Manager or over the air (OTA), and on a simulator. The offline client enables you to use the applications you create through Unwired Accelerator on your BlackBerry device in offline mode.

Develop a process for making the offline client available for BlackBerry users.
