RIM releases more info on BlackBerry Storefront
by The PocketBerry Team
In the latest BlackBerry Developer Newsletter, RIM releases some new info on the all new storefront coming out sometime in March this year. Included in this newsletter is a little video/slideshow as an introduction for which directions RIM wants to go. It is confirmed that the storefront will be for both personal and business applications in one storefront on your BlackBerry. I’m hoping the navigation layout is nice and differentiates personal and business apps. Just like the iPhone, expect to see free apps as well as those that require purchasing.
The main punchline behind this is to initially be able to wirelessly download all of your applications OTA. Installing applications through Desktop Manager is trying to slowly fade away, but I am certain there will be some applications that just cannot be handled wireless.
Again, in this newsletter RIM urges the developers out there to submit their applications in now to be featured in the storefront. Desperation or just looking for “aggressive expansion?”
