BlackBerry App World launched by RIM
Posted by: blackberry / Category: applications, news & reviewCo-CEO of RIM, Mike Lazaridis is scheduled for today’s stage in Las Vegas at the CTIA show and all eyes focused on RIM’s answer to Apple App Store. While expressing his wish that RIM has held off on launching BlackBerry App Lazaridis world “to speak, nothing could have prevented the stroke of midnight announcement. So, ladies and germs, I present to you BlackBerry App world. S ‘ Please make sure you have a PayPal account, OS 4.2 or higher and a trackball or touch screen SurePress (aka Storm) BlackBerry before proceeding.
I must say that BAW is much better than the first screen that RIM has released many months. But before diving into it, you should download the BAW store. Can be found here and there from your BlackBerry and experience the awesomeness that is navigation BAW. A circle logo with the BlackBerry icon on your desktop.
The BAW Homescreen has four icons at the bottom and “articles”, which can be accessed by navigation on the left or right. The first - a folder with a blue tab - is to record your classes where you can search by genre, for applications such as games, music and video, or the staff of the health and well-being. Next to the icon of the category is the Top Downloads section - a folder identified by a star - which tells you of BAW applications that are very popular. You can also search for applications by clicking on the magnifying glass icon, for research in the categories.
The download process is simple and direct, but still hate the fact that RIM has not been able to launch a fund to pay its own structure. I do not trust PayPal, and I know that many people (besides myself) who have had problems with them over the years. In any case, click on any application that tickles your fancy you the following options: Download, comments or images. I do not think it was necessary to go into detail or describe what each of these entail, but I must tell you that when you purchase a free application you’ll be taken directly to my world (we do in a second), but if it is a paid application will be asked to log in to PayPal before proceeding.
Now that we have sought through requests to purchase a couple or download all the free applications, you’ll want to hit the icon in the outline of a person or my world. My world can not follow all the tabs on the applications you’ve downloaded, write articles, recommend or uninstall applications. A nice feature about My World is that it can accommodate almost applications you use can not be any time, without the application downloaded to the device. If you want to install an application previously deleted, you simply log into PayPal and go.
We will update this post once BAW is living with a complete list of applications that might not happen later today.
