Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Software, Apple, iPhone, App Store, iPod touch Here's an interesting idea for the App Store. Gizmodo posts that the new Blackberry "App World" has set a minimum price on its apps, asking no less than $2.99 for whatever you buy in there. At first glance, that's pretty...

BlackBerry App World is the name of their application store. It’s cominatcha shortly. If you believe the rumour, speculation and behind-the-scenes commentary, this App World was born on the cusp of realisation that Jobs & Co at Apple had a $500m marketplace on their hands after releasing t...

RIM's newly-named BlackBerry App World might be all set to compete with the other mobile app stores on the scene, but it's not going head-to-head on price: according to the developer docs, the first price tier above free is $2.99. That doesn't seem like much, but it's a little puzzling in light of h...
