BlackBerry Application Center

The BlackBerry Application Center Will Have Some Competition

October 7, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 4 Comments

We just go an email about a new 3rd party BlackBerry application store called the BerryStore that we believe will give the BlackBerry Application Center some real competition.

The big plus for the BerryStore over the BlackBerry App Center is that it is not supported by the carriers. It simply is an application that you install on your BlackBerry from which you can install and review third party BlackBerry applications.

The issue that I see for the BlackBerry Application Center is that carriers simply won’t support many of the BlackBerry applications out because a bad experience from said applications will reflect on the carrier. My guess is that the certification process for getting into the App Center will be much more stringent than getting listed on the BerryStore.

All you have to do to get into the BerryStore is create an specially formated xml file called a BerryStore Appcast that points to your OTA BlackBerry download.

The BerryStore is still in beta and only supports free BlackBerry applications as of right now, however, the ability to charge for BlackBerry applications is something that the BerryStore is working on.

Check Out The BlackBerry Application Center

Kevin over at Crackberry.com was able to get his hands on a few images of the upcoming BlackBerry Application Center which should make its debut in the BlackBerry Storm’s version 4.7 BB OS.

The BlackBerry App Center is Research in Motion’s answer to Apple’s App Store which will allow users to browse, search, and install 3rd party BlackBerry software hosted by carriers. I don’t expect, however, for the BlackBerry App Center to be nearly as comprehensive as the Apple App Store simply because BlackBerry users will still have other means for getting and installing applications on their devices.

We’ve got BlackBerry Application Center features and more screen shots after the jump…
