Discovered a world of possibilities lately?
Someone has, as the
BlackBerry App World has just soared past the one billion download
mark. It took a smidge over two years for the company to claim the
milestone, if you count both smartphone and PlayBook tablet purchases.
Android Market took about the same amount of time to reach the mark, but
has soared to greater heights since, while Apple has averaged nearly a
billion downloads per month in each of the last six months. A number of
factors have likely led to the relative snail's pace in the BB
storefront, including the outfit's
rocky relationship
with developers. In what can be seen as a morale booster, the company
has begun a video series that allows seasoned RIM aficionados to offer
their rationale for working with the mobile OS. Perhaps this will, in
theory, help expedite the milestone conquering -- only time will tell.
