Rumour: BlackBerry App World 3.0 to officially launch August 22nd

By on August 19, 2011 at 11:08am in Mobile News


The BlackBerry App World 3.0 went into beta back on August 5th, but August 22nd is a day that the 50 million+ BlackBerry users will want to mark down. This coming Monday is the date that RIM is intending to push out the final version to the masses. According to N4BB they received word via email that “Please be advised that App World 3.0 is scheduled to release on August 22″. The new features of App World 3.0 are based on a complete redesign, more intuitive layout with a storefront search bar, integration with social networks and the ability to share app details within BBM, Facebook and Twitter.

RIM stated the following list of new product features with App World 3.0: “It all starts right on the home screen of BlackBerry App World, where rotating banners show off all that’s new and exciting. Keep tabs on your apps, with My World When you download an app, it’s stored digitally in ­your own personal storage folder called My World. So if you delete an app accidentally or upgrade to a new BlackBerry smartphone, you can wirelessly re-install the apps you’ve bought at no additional costs. Log in to the BlackBerry App World storefront with your BlackBerry ID When you download an app, it’s stored digitally in ­your own personal storage folder called My World. Search for and buy apps in more ways In addition to PayPal™, you can pay for apps using credit cards—including Visa®, MasterCard®, and American Express®—or charge them straight to your wireless bill. Scan app barcodes Any time you come across a barcode associated with a BlackBerry® app you’re interested in, just scan it, and BlackBerry® App World™ storefront will find it for you.”

  7. you guys are all i****s. there not stealing it from apple. how else do you expect a company to manage there apps. and do you think apple was the first phone to use a touch screen? no they “stole” that idea, and your prolly one of those zombies who go into the store and say, CAN I GET AN IPHONE PLEASE. then when we ask why you want it you say BECAUSE ITS AN IPHONE AND THERE AMAZING. no there not, most of you zombies cant even explain whats so good about the iphone and why its so much better then any other phone on the market.

  11. @blairmn YES THEY DID STEAL FROM APPLE! APPLE INNOVATES! OTHER COMPANIES JUST STEAL APPLE TECH! Thats why all non-apple phones are crap, its cause they can’t copy stolen tech. Apple also invented battery tech which is why iPhones have the best battery life and android have crap battery

    @Dichlong Linux stole from apple! Apple invented the unix system! Linus Torvalds stole the code and claimed it for himself. Stupid theif! Apple innovates, everyone else steals from them.

    • I personally really like Apple products, but I seriously hope you’re being sarcastic, or at the very least, ironic.
