Click here for the Blackberry AppWorld Store Download, using your Blackberry Smartphone
What made the iPhone very popular, in addition to its sleek design, its big screen, and its ability to download music on the road and go from thought to song almost instantly, is the additional ability to download applications online, while on the go.
Blackberry, following Apple’s success in this, has introduced App World. After downloading the free application to your Blackberry, a new round Blackberry button icon will appear along with your other icons. The interface is simple yet stylish. You can browse by category or do direct searches for applications based on keywords or brands you’re familiar with. Blackberry users can now easily browse hundreds of applications, some free, made for their Blackberry, while on the go and without every plugging into their desktop.
For example, you can download the free Google Talk application which allows you to instantly chat with your fellow Gmail users, as if you were using your desktop. Paid for applications provide a brief description, screen shots, reviews and at times, the ability to download a trial. You can download applications immediately and have them automatically installed.
TWO WARNINGS:
(1) This is also a convenient way to eat up all of the memory on your Blackberry very quickly. This will prevent you from downloading additional applications, storing pictures, email and also kill the performance of your device. Nothing worse than having a portable version of your already-clogged up desktop computer.
(2) This is a new application for Blackberry and thus you, as a user, are also a guinea pig for Blackberry. Upon this test, I was unable to receive a phone call because the application was very busy downloading content for the applications that were for sale.
