Video: Thought Process Behind Building a BlackBerry Super App Using New Twitter App as an Example

And RIMs browser is SuperShitty.

Interesting, but this concept should have taken off way earlier. Waiting for BlackBerry Super App World.

anybody else think this dude looks a little like Elliot Spitzer?
and i can't decide if I even want a twitter. i might get one
just for this app

Facebook? They're going to use that piece of crap application as an example? It's bloated, never works, always has issues, doesn't get notifications.

I have never seen such a poory designed mobile application in my life... and don't give me that it's Facebook itself, because just spend 5 minutes with the iPhone Facebook app and you'll see just how crappy the BlackBerry one is!

Such useless crap after useless crap after useless crap. BlackBerries are good for 2 things- Phone and Email. It's not an iPhone to play around with stupid apps and games, sorry.

We've known super apps for a while now. We need super duper nowadays.

Now all they need to do is approach facebook the same way maybe even a FB chat inside the IM folder !

It was a bad idea to "announce" a concept like Super Apps for the first time alongside other new projects, such as WebKit. It's a bad PR idea in general to try and attach a new label to something consumers ALREADY HAVE to try and make them feel better about it. Yes, I was aware that Poynt and Facebook app are integrated with other BB functions. I want to know how they (or other NEW apps) will be integrated better in the future.

When I heard read his six-point description of what a Super App is, I felt like they should've added the 7th bullet point, which is "Drains overall system functioning". Because if you're selling point is that something like Facebook or iTookThisonMyPhone is "always on", the downside to that is that it's creating more and more hoops for the user and the device RAM to jump through.

Poynt is the only deserving app on that list.

and..Poynt doesn't work all that well either mainly because of the the 'Searching for GPS..' part.

I'm waiting on the HTC Incredible to come out then making a decision to go with that or the Nexus One. Google and HTC seems to be more in line with what consumers want and HTC seems to build a better phone.

I was ready to leave a comment saying they should focus on making room for regular apps. before making super apps. but you beat me to the punch
