BlackBerry App World Reviews
RIM just announced that BlackBerry App World 2.1 is now live with maintain for in-app payments using the BlackBerry Payment Service, matching Google's similar Android Market announcement earlier today. RIM's BlackBerry App World isn't the only way to get mobile applications onto your BlackBerry Smartphone, but it's one of the most convenient. As the official BlackBerry storefront, there are certain advantages to using RIM's App World. Programs are easy to find by browsing through categories or searching--and only those apps compatible with your phone model will show. You're able to View reviews and see screenshots before committing to an app; you can add your own 2 cents' worth once you've installed the program in question.
Apart from that, RIM got one important element right. The My World tab on App World logs your purchases and freeware downloads, production it easy to redownload apps you've uninstalled, and to reinstall all your apps anew if you change phone models. Users should see the 2.1 update rolling out over the course of the day, and devs have had the appropriate SDK since January 5, so progs that use the service should be arriving shortly.
