They need to be certified by RIM ahead of time.
This is a no lose situation for RIM.
A) They only certify Apps that pass their arbitrary quality test.
B) They don't have to market your apps initially.
C) If you can get enough money from your likely already reasonably
quality apps, then RIM can then market them in the store,
and easily push you over the $10K line.
Everybody comes out a winner. Very difficult to game, though.
- chucknelson 14y ago"...then RIM can then market them in the store, and easily push you over the $10K line." I don't quite agree with the assumption that their app ecosystem will be popular enough to make this happen "easily". First let's see if BB 10 is released successfully...
- ghshephard 14y agoJust have them as a featured app (or whatever Blackberry's version of that will be) for a few days - it would be pretty hard _not_ to be pushed over the $10K line. And, if a couple days as a featured App won't get you $10K, then RIM is dead, and this is all for naught anyways. An extra $10K for the 900-1000 developers they chose won't make a difference one way or another.
