Hi friends I am new to Blackberry 10 Development Platform. Are there some ways to Invoke NFC APIs in BlackBerry 10 Webworks(HTML5) Platform?
Such as Reading Tags or Writing Tags.
The BlackBerry WebWorks platform does not currently support NFC API's. These will be included into a future release.
For more information on existing API's, visit https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/apis/bb10_index.html
Just discovered this sample application on github that may help you to further your investigation

How to receive push notifications from Firebase cloud messaging on Windows
(1 answer)
Closed 10 months ago.
Is there a good way to add Firebase server2client FCM messaging to my WPF .net windows app?
We already have it sending GUI-less data messages to our Android/iOS clients, and I would like to recycle the backend integration.
I saw that there is a C++ library, but no mention of anyone using it on Windows.
And I saw that someone put together a hack where they ran the web version inside a .Net app.
But I didn't see any testimonials about using firebase in windows. I don't want to use unofficial solutions which might lose support when a new version is released...
Is there an official way to use FCM in my windows app?
No, there is not. FCM is designed for web and mobile (Android, iOS) applications.
I just come across about ibeacons technology which introduced by Apple but haven't got any API/framework from Microsoft.
Is there any API or framework available from Microsoft which gives support for Ibeacons implementation?
Thanks
Unfortunately, this is not possible with Windows Phone 8, because it only supports Bluetooth 3.1 iBeacons require Bluetooth 4.0, also known as BluetoothLE.
In October 2013, Nokia announced that upcoming phones would have Bluetooth LE support. Unfortunately, these only allow OS-level pairing with Bluetooth LE devices. There is no public api.
This makes it impossible to develop a third-party iBeacon Library for the Windows Phone similar to the Android iBeacon Library.
Unfortunately, Windows Phone users will have to wait for a later release with either native iBeacon support or a public BluetoothLE API that allows a third party to develop a Windows iBeacon Library.
Update: this appears to remain impossible with Windows Phone 8.1. See my comment on the answer from #keni
Update:
Windows 10 will support Bluetooth LE Advertisements. Current status as of today (4/23/2015) is that the preview build of Windows 10 still has an incomplete SDK implementation and a few bugs. However, next week a new build will be introduced and it can be safely assumed that we'll get a good glimpse on how this will actually work.
Sending and receiving pure Advertisements works already. Have a look at the Sample that you can download from github here:https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/bluetoothadvertisement
Update
a public BluetoothLE API will come in Window Phone 8.1

Please read the following blog post for BLE for developers in Windows 8.1

I developed sip application in Android. and now I am developing it in Windows Phone 8. I am new in Windows phone and don't know anything that Which library should be use here? Do Microsoft provide free library for SIP?
Please any suggest me Which way will be best for developing or any source code or library or demo application?
I think you can start from this example.
There is a full sample app there.
Take a look at boghe, it's the SIP video client for Windows Phone 8 and Surface Pro. You'll learn a lot from there.
It also cover VoIP apps for Windows Phone 8, which teaches you to integrate VoIP into WP8 experience
I guess the question pretty much says it all?
And I would prefer not to access cloud services such as Microsoft Translator and Project Hawaii?
Is there any direct API I can access?
(For metro apps)
I was able to get the Microsoft Speech Platform working on my Windows 7 laptop (both Voice Recognition and Text-to-Speech). You just need to install SDK and the runtime. You can also download additional Voice and Language packs. I would think it should work on Windows 8 as well. Here is a good sample on how to set it up to recognize some basic phrases like "Find restaurants near Seattle".
There are some new APIs for Windows 8.1:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.media.speechsynthesis.aspx
Text-To-Speech sample:

There are no Text to Speech or Speech to text libraries available in .Net for Windows 8 apps. System.Speech and such is not available. You will need to roll your own or find compatible 3rd party library.
I use Bing Translator service in my apps, but that has been removed from existance, they brought the text translator services into Azure, but did not bring speech over and they disabled the old website to get API keys for bing translator. Hadn't heard of Project Hawaii before will have to check it out.
Microsoft's speech API seems available in Windows 7. Was it taken out of Windows 8?
You can now Access Bing Services for Windows 8 , the service has been just released and is in Beta1 stage
I'm porting an app from Android/iOS and it uses text-to-speech.
Anything like this available for windows phone?
I tried the Bing/Microsoft Translator APIs but they dont work and rumour says they are deprecated: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/259727/Text-to-speech-in-windows-phone7
Nuance is out of the question, as their fees are ridiculous.
Thanks in advance!

They do work. The Bing API is deprecated for use on Microsoft Translator services, the new format is to obtain tokens.
I was able to implement a library for this, here:

obtaining tokens.

text-to-speech library
Starting with Windows Phone 8, there is now a build in TTS engine. More details can be found in the official MSDN documents.
