Who said 30?
It was said that the total value of the apps will be equivalent to $100, and it is.

wow thirty i dont remember that number. here is an article from pc mag specifically stating
"In the wake of a massive three-day outage that left customers around the world without access to BlackBerry services, Research in Motion said Monday that it would offer several premium apps at no charge.
The apps will be available for download from October 19 to December 31. RIM is starting with a dozen apps worth approximately $100, though more will be added.
The apps include: SIMS 3, Bejeweled, N.O.V.A., Texas Hold'em Poker 2, Bubble Bash 2, Photo Editor Ultimate, DriveSafe.ly Pro, iSpeech Translator Pro, Drive Safe.ly Enterprise, Nobex Radio Premium, Shazam Encore, and Vlingo Plus: Virtual Assistant."

I only have 11 in my list on Appworld. I think what you see depends on your device and which apps are compatible with your particlular phone.

I hope that these didn't represent the "BEST" paid apps available for the platfrom.
Really think RIM needs create a few really great apps for the BB for themselves.

I wonder how much CIO mindshare they lost when they offered $100 of apps as consolation for days of downtime.
