+ \section2 BlackBerry Peculiarities
+
+ On the BlackBerry platform it is possible to set an alternate
+ cover window that is shown when the application is minimized.
+ The cover window must be a separate window with the
+ \l{Qt::CoverWindow} flag set.
+
+ The window should have a fixed size depending on the screen
+ resolution (e.g. for a 768x1280 screen, 334 pixels wide by 396
+ pixels high). The window can be rendered to as usual, however
+ updates should occur very infrequently (a few updates per minute
+ at most) in order save battery.
