Best Cards for BlackBerry Programming

I see that there are java sdk and webworks sdk for blackberry, with bb 5, 6, and now 7 os systems in ex ... play adobe air and webworks for playbook. I am looking at how to port my Android app to BB. I need the maps included in the app to be responsive, with scalable panning, etc. Fast and looking as good as on Android or iOS, with their built-in cards. Without buying a third-party license, which sdk for BB would be better, and do they have an API that I need?

For a hobby project, I used Google maps in three different ways: first as a static image, as Javascript, and finally as a flash / flex component.

(1) A static image is the easiest to use.

(2) Javascript is the easiest and fastest to load on a web page.

(3) Flash / flex is the most advanced and responsive.

But: (3) will not work with BB 5, 6, 7. It will only work with Playbook. (2) will work with BB 6, 7, but not very convenient ...

You can also use the Blackberry Mapfield , which, however, will not work with the Playbook - until the BB Java SDK is released for it.

And you can wait for the Android Java SDK for the Playbook, but this will not work for BB 5, 6, 7.

Just FYI, not trying to give a complete answer.
