BlackBerry App World 2.0 in Screenshots

July 12th, 2010

There had been recent rumors surfacing that RIM was planning on unveiling their new App World, although nothing was certain. However, a few days ago, not only was the BlackBerry App World 2.0 launched, but RIM is also planning on giving a tour of it through recently released pictures. According to the images released, there are soon to be various changes made to the user interface so that it can fall more in line with the OS 6. One of the most important of these changes include a category carousel that allows the user to see recently updated as well as newest applications available, the top 25 themes as well as the top 25 free and paid user themes. There is also the improved functionality of barcode scanning, which can be launched directly from the menu. All you have to now do is to simply point your camera at any barcode and it will be made available for download on your Blackberry Unlocked Device.

While it has been confirmed that the carrier as well as payments through credit card have also been allowed, there has not been any word with regard to the different services that would be supported. Another advanced feature of App World is the BlackBerry ID that is a system capable of saving all your applications should you want to switch to another BlackBerry Unlocked Gadget. In all probability, the BlackBerry App World will be ready for the launching of the, Blackberry Unlocked 9650, 9670 and the 9800. Depending on the carrier that decides to handle the BlackBerry App World, the number of customers would increase mainly due to the convenience provided by it. On the downside, the prices that you can expect in the App World are a bit steep and the barcode scanner would be much easier to implement had it been directly inbuilt into the camera software bundled with the phone.
