With a such large number of corporate business travelers on the BlackBerry you would expect that they type of application that would drive on the platform would be the travel companion.
This, however, is not the case for KAYAK, a popular travel comparison service, who recently announced that they will no longer support the KAYAK mobile app on the BlackBerry platform.

BlackBerry App World v3.1 is now available for download in BlackBerry Beta Zone and contains a few new features including Wi-Fi only download support and content ratings.
Unfortunately we must also report that Research in Motion has included the most bass-ackwards implementation of application gift requesting imaginable. Instead of allowing a gift giver to initiate the process of giving of a BlackBerry app to someone, BlackBerry App World v3.1 instead allows users that want gifts to beg for them via BBM.
I can honestly tell you that the first time that I ever receive an unsolicited gift request from a BBM contact will be the last time I ever use BBM and possibly BlackBerry App World. Let’s hope that RIM kills the gift begging feature in BlackBerry App World v3.1 before it becomes officially available, or, at the very least, adds the ability to opt out of being begged by contacts to buy them apps.

I was browsing around BlackBerry App World earlier today and noticed that it has undergone a bit of a website makeover. I haven’t noticed any new functionality or anything, but, I do like the new look and feel.

In an effort to make amends for the biggest BlackBerry outage in history, Research in Motion is giving away over $100 worth of premium BlackBerry Apps via a new Thank You Gift category on BlackBerry App World. A recent addition to the free BlackBerry apps, compliments of BlackBerry, is Shazam Encore.
