Considerations for existing applications
If you have an existing application and want to make it available on BlackBerry devices with a touch screen, you must
adjust the layout to accommodate touch interactions. For more information on touch interactions, see the "Touch screen"
topic.
You must also decide whether to display the application in portrait mode, landscape mode, or both. If you use BlackBerry
UI components, the orientation mode is managed automatically.
