    In addition to the new APIs being supported it looks like AppWorld will be installed with the udpate:

    In addition to the BlackBerry 10 developer toolkit updates, RIM is also opening the BlackBerry App WorldTM Vendor Portal for BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha test devices. The portal will now allow developers to target the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha test device for applications, allowing developers with BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha test devices to share and access each other's applications and see what their peers are doing with the platform.

    I think this is great! It's like a closed developer network, although I wonder if BB App World will load all existing PlayBook apps by default. It has been said that PB apps should carry over to BB10 but I don't know if 100% of existing apps work natively or need to be modified and recompiled with BB10 SDKs. Now the questions is will BB10 developers charge each other to playtest each other's apps while no consumers have any access?

    No luck for me, tried normal update (DM check) and Repair and both come up with no update. Guess I'll have to wait for my PIN to get tagged or something.

    Another question about the Appworld, are the apps that we buy still valid when OS10 comes out, or would we have to rebuy. Not that I plan on doing it, but if devs charge...

    Anyone already got the update?
    Has the GUI been changed or it's still the playbook one?

    Downloading now. Had to get DM 7.1 from the Beta site first. DM 7.1 found the update as soon as I plugged in my Dev device.

    Downloading the update now,

    Seems like it just took a while for it to kind of go live everywhere Either that or they've been backlogged for some reason.

    Try to turn off your DevAlpha and connect to BB Desktop Software. It will throw up error with connection, click to Update and it should work.

    But BEWARE - data will gone, so backup your device.

    had DM 7.1 32, updated to 33 but still no luck.

    Did restore and normal procedures. For s and giggles I've security wiped it to see if that changed anything. Nothing important on it, it's a dev device anyways.

    Well, I've updated,

    You'll notice two camera and two browsers, app world is also here.

    RIM is changing the AIR apps to be native C++ apps, so you get a little taste of a C++ Browser and C++ Camera app.

    Issues so far:
    Top power button does not work

    :0 whoa. this is a much welcomed changed. AIR was a stopgap and it's great to transition away from it.

    Can you post up a pic or better yet some video showing off the new chrome?

    I've been trying all morning--regular DM7.1 Update method and repair method but no luck. It keeps telling me there are no updates.

    Also, I downloaded and installed the beta DM 7.1 they had on the update site but the "About" for that software say "Version 7.1.0.32" (Bundle 33). Not 7.1.0.31 as mentioned on the update site (https://developer.blackberry.com/bla...valphas/update). Is that the right version?

    Are the non-AIR Browser/Camera apps actually C++? They don't look or feel any different.

    Second attempt successful
    Note : I did not unplug the USB on auto-restart at the end of the update until the DM asked again for debrick (old souvenirs of PB update problems). Also boot time is very long (7-10 min), so be patient.

    P.S: for reporting problems there is a thread here : Re: DevAlpha not updating on Desktop (Bundle 33) -... - BlackBerry Support Community Forums
