BlackBerry App World 2.0 Now Available

on Thursday, August 19, 2010



RIM today moved App World 2.0 out of beta and to the public for all to enjoy. Also, as of today, developers are now able to offer apps for $0.99 and $1.99. RIM said that App World users will be receiving upgrade notifications over the next few hours.






New Features include:




Easier Application Discovery

BlackBerry App World adds new tabbed sections for various applications lists. Users can horizontally swipe or scroll to quickly view the Top 25 Free Apps, Top 25 Paid Apps and Top 25 Themes, as well as the Newest Apps and Recently Updated Apps.







Barcodes


QR barcode scanning is also supported, allowing users to scan a QR code associated with an application from anywhere – the web, print ads, brochures, etc. BlackBerry App World will quickly find the related application, and automatically open and download its page.





BlackBerry ID 


BlackBerry ID provides customers with a device-independent user identification (ID) for BlackBerry App World. It enables credit card payments and allows customers to seamlessly transfer their personal library of free and purchased apps when they switch to a new BlackBerry smartphone.
