RIM has joined the fray with their new BlackBerry App World application for BlackBerry devices. Much like the already available mobile application stores for Apple’s iPhone and T-Mobile’s G1 Android handset, the BB App World application offers users the ability to look for, purchase, and download programs for their BlackBerry. Right now App World only supports handsets with version 4.2 of the BlackBerry software and it must have a trackball or SurePress touchscreen (ala Storm), but its free and already has a ton of apps available, including (sadly) a fart sounds app. Nicely, the App World application uses PayPal for processing purchases, and its fully integrated. I’ll be reviewing software from the App World store as soon as I lay my hands on some.
