Enough with the FUD already
Let's have a look at what a BlackBerry has to do:
1. click on google.
2. search for the app you want
3. click on install.
And unlike the iPhone, you don't have to get prior approval from RIM to sell or distribute your wares and you certainly don't have to give them a 30% cut.
What's more, non-apple platforms are far more open as to what you can actually do - background processes & listeners, better access to the system etc.
- sanj 18y agoIt appears, based on http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/14/the-mobile-web-is-here-apple-sells-one-million-3g-iphones-first-weekend-ten-million-iphone-apps-downloaded/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/14/the-mobile-web-is-here-... That 10M apps were downloaded. That's a crazy number. Any chance you have the to-date number for BB users? I'd put money that the market will bear out my argument.
- wallflower 18y ago> Ever notice how the nicest applications are always ones made by RIM? An outside developer could never create the BlackBerry Facebook application in a million years, again, because of the API access. We heard RIM is actively trying to listen to developer’s cries for help, open up some APIs, give them newer and better tools, and possibly include things such as OpenGL graphics support. But it’s still extremely difficult to develop for BlackBerry devices and distribute those applications. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/07/16/blackberry-bold-vs-iphone-3g-yeah-we-definitely-went-there/ http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/07/16/blackberry-bold-vs...
