Say hi to the new Blackberry applications store – a nyc computer help handheld news flash

The iPhone has had applications to download from its iPhone apps store for a while.  Now, its Blackberry’s turn to get into the app mix.  Research in Motion will not sell the apps directly, but will provide links of sites that do provide blackberry applications.

Previously, Blackberry worked with Handango as its sole app store.  No comment has been made by Blackberry regarding their future relationship with Handango nor has any info been revealed about pricing and specs.

What does this mean for Blackberry users?  Having an open App Store will make the BB more social, more personable, and less work-rigid.  The Blackberry is still the best e-mailing handheld out there, and works flawlessly with Blackberry Enterprise Server as well as personal e-mail accounts.  Now, users will be able to perform personal tasks, such as budgeting, organizing shopping lists, planning trips, and take advantage of other personal apps that will become available.  This app store sharing now makes the Blackberry an all-around type of handheld where business and personal are co-joined.  We will update you further as more technical information becomes available.
