BlackBerry App World is Waterloo based Research In Motion’s (RIM) latest attempt to remain competitive against the iPhone and the App Store. BlackBerry App World will provide blackberry users a place to download and share applications in much the same way the Apple App Store has worked for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
RIM will also be launching the blackberry developers site to help stimulate creativity in the blackberry app community. Microsoft will also be working on a Windows Marketplace for Mobile apps for windows mobile 6.5. If you would like to be notified when BlackBerry App World goes live, you can sign up here: www.blackberry.com/appworld

Apple has officially begun approving 3rd party web browsers for use on the iPhone. This news may or may not be important to you depending on your feelings toward Safari; which is the iPhone’s current browser. Submissions of web browsers to be approved date back to October. Some of the approved browsers include Edge Browser, Icognito, WebMate and Shaking Web.
Each browser offers similar features, some providing special functionality. I would recommend reading detailed reviews of a browser before making a purchase. While some of the browsers are free, others retail for $1.99 and up in the Apple App Store. There is still no word from some of the big players in web browsing like Opera and Firefox; but I would expect to see something from Firefox in the near future.
