Alright so as we all know a 3rd party app is created by someone a side from RIM or your carrier. So here's my question if "we" make "3rd" party apps, then does your carrier make the "2nd" party and RIM make the "1st" party, or vis versa? Like I said its a pointless question but one I'm quite curious about.

Third party applications are programs written to work within operating systems, but are written by individuals or companies other than the provider of the operating system. For example, Microsoft™ systems come packed with several software applications. Of these, any program authored by Microsoft is a first party application. Any program authored by a different company or an individual is a third party application; the same being true for Apple™ and Linux™ systems. In this equation the second party is the user.
