RIM, which has been prepping its own applications center for quite some time now, has finally taken covers off its App World for its UK, Canada and US users.
Blackberry users owning devices with software 4.2 or higher, and have either a trackball or SurePress as text input methods will be able to access the App World. The App World is an application itself and can be downloaded from here, if you are in any of the above listed countries. A PayPal account is required to pay for apps.
Looking at the way things are going, it seems an exciting quarter ahead as far as the smartphone application store related news is concerned. It was only yesterday when more details about Microsoft's very own Sky Market were revealed. Also newsworthy is that fact that Nokia's Ovi Store will be up and running in the near future.
