    I just told my girl they had all these months to think of a name and this is what they come up with.

    Then again I didn't like the app storefront name either though.

    It's not that it matters, but RIM could have came up with something better than that...

    They could have left it as Application center...or called it BB App Store/Center. Keep it simple

    BB App world brings MacWorld to mind...RIM is always a step behind. Steve Jobs and company are probably laughing as we speak...

    Someone commenting on this on BGR said, "At least they didn't call it BlackMarket."

    Personally, I would've liked BlackMarket more than BlackBerry App World.

    +1, however that might have caused some controversy...

    I can see how you got that take on the picture, but I took a different take. I didn't look at it so much as a "diversity" pic, as much as a pic meant to represent a "global" presence, and basically a worldly connection(hand-holding) through BB. That would also would explain why they went with Blackberry App "World" instead of "center" or "store" etc. And yes, it IS corny, but whatever...the goal is to sell stuff.

    100TH POST!! I AM OFFICIALLY A CB ABUSER!!!!!

    They could have called it the BlackBerry Swap Meet for all I care, it's just a name. I just want it to roll out already.

    I'm the 21st deciding vote for a "Yes"

    Why are people so bent out of shape about a name? We should know by now that a name is just a name. It holds no major determining significance. It isn't the name that makes something what it is, it's what it is capable of and what it ultimately offers that decides whether Michael Jordan is just the name of some random guy who liked to play basketball or whether he is one of the greatest basketball players ever.

    Hence why we have a President by the name of Barack Obama

    Who saw that one coming?

    I think a lot of people are going to be saddened with the quality and quantity of the app world. If you're expecting to see thousands or even hundreds of apps you might be a little sad. If you're expecting to see high quality amazing games like that of the iPhone you will be saddened again.

    I'm just basing this one what kind of interest I've seen around the net for developers. This isn't a fact but merely my thoughts.

    You might be surprised by this DMG
    Rim actually picks up developers right out of collage.
    Their main purpose is to make apps for blackberry
    You will see a good amount of apps but not as good as the iphone

    I agree.

    The storm for one, is not made for games. Period.
    As per apps, I'd be surprised to see more then 25 for now.
