BlackBerry App World Goes Live! By Kevin Michaluk | 01 Apr 2009 01:01 | 
315 comments
True to their word and not a moment to soon, Research in Motion just launched BlackBerry App World. You can head on over to mobile.blackberry.com on your BlackBerry or blackberry.com/appworld from your PC to download the App World client. For an overview of RIM's new app store, be sure to check out this BlackBerry App World Overview .pdf. We've been following RIM's application storefront endeavor since they first dropped word of it back at the BlackBerry Developer Conference, so it's nice to see them pull through and get this launched. Big congrats go to the App World team! At the time of this post, we have yet to give the BlackBerry App World a test drive, so we'll report back with our thoughts once we return from a brief world tour and hear what RIM's coCEO Mike L has to say at his CTIA keynote in the morning. Be sure to drop your initial reactions in the comments!

I can't wait to see how this turns out!!!
the moment we've all been wating for! lets hope its as good as its all cracked up to be!
woot finally! haha
JUST WAITING TO DOWNLOAD
I can't wait :D
The UI is awesome, and perfect for the STORM!
I'm so excited! Hope it is worth all the waiting!!!
This is not the moment we have been waiting for! haha. Us storm users are hoping tey launch the new os as well!
You're right. I have no problems finding 3rd party applications, so this isn't that much of a big deal for me and my Storm. Regardless, my AppWorld doesn't work, so I hope the new OS doesn't disappoint me like this has
hell yeah who needs sleep
Seems like it's up! Downloading it now :)
And I Ji** in my pants!
lol
Awesome! Downloading it on my girlfriend's Curve now!
It now has changed to give an option to download now
so what is the application center software that is already loaded on the storm?
The Application Center and AppWorld (App Store) are two separate things and have always been intended to be. The App Center is controlled by your carrier and they load it with their own proprietary apps and RIM apps they recommend. AppWorld is controlled by RIM and your carrier has nothing to do with it.
I am downloading right now :)
I just saw this and was about to post in the forums but you guys were on it! It looks pretty cool off first viewing. Should be even better once I sink my teeth into it.
got it
Beauty! Now I can load up my 8GB Micro SD with more useless apps!
I use Areize Card Loader to load and run apps all the time. Its great cause I don't ever have to worry about filling up the device memory!
How can you download apps from app world to the SD card. I just recently purchased Areize Card Loader but am not able to download to the SD card.
I think im shedding a tear
Wait...I can have an app store on my phone, and I don't have to switch to a crappy network and join the iPhone cult? Sweet!
FINALLY! cant wait.... phone died...
Looks awesome on the storm.
this is nice....im glad they did bring it out....IPHONE here we come....sooooo move bitch get out the way!!!!
IT'S live
This is great, for the release, they did an amazing job. Been playing with it for a bit and it's everything we could ask for!
My first download was Shazam :)
Shazam had to be the first download, and it works great!
I like app world, it's pretty easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. I'm a happy camper, great work RIM!!
Doesn't work for the storm apparently =(
They are great on the Storm. Have been listening and playing with that apps all day. I love music and I could not ask for anything better since Rhapsody has yet to get their act together with syncing music to the Storm.
shazaam is on there !!
It's about time I can't wait for this I hope it's just as good or even better then the app store eventually at least good job RIM hope this store delivers
its very fast and smooth to get through it...i love it...credit card...here i go...lol
YEAH! Looks real good to. Nice and clean! Good Job RIM!!
glad i've got this now!
Any free apps on it?
Yeah!
The new OS for the storm and its COMPLETE! (or getting there :))
Everything in the App store has already been available! Where is the new stuff!!?!?!
True, Facebook is still 1.2. I'm running 1.5 which is much better
Thanks for the post!!!!!
I've been playing with the BB App world for a few minutes and I already love it.
It's everything we've seen, just collaborated into one place... some outrageous prices too!
so far so good. i already download 10 apps and shortcuts. I really like the GUI its simple and fast on my 8900
It won't even install on my 8900; the site claims my device isn't supported?!
Nevermind, it's working now.
shazam does not seem to work on the storm =(
Try this:
Go to option, advanced options, applications, then scroll to "Shazam" and press the BB button, and click on "disable compatibility mode".
This is something you'll have to do with a number of the apps that are most specifically designed for a traditional BB.
