RIM are giving away �100 worth of free apps in the appworld
but will they be giving them away for older devices? like devices that run on

There was nothing in the announcement that would indicate that the gift applies to only OS 6 and above devices.

i hope that over time all the free apps will appear in that banner
i dont think i have the patience to go scan the store for them
unfortunately vlingo is not available for my phone, vlingo pro

When the apps become available (which they were not when you posted this thread), they will show up on the front screen of App World.

Yeah, looks like the only one that's been made available so far is Drivesafely Pro. I just downloaded it. Doesn't seem to play nicely with the Torch 9850 though. I'm still playing around with it, but the options page is almost completely un-navigable.

RIM has no control over whether an application is available for any OS. It is the developer that makes the applications compatible for specific OS versions. However, I believe that RIM will be in talks with developers that have a wide range of OS compatibility just due to the immense world wide scale of the giveaway.

If you have questions about the compatibility of an application, just to to AppWorld from a PC and check.

For example. This first giveaway of DriveSafe.ly Pro shows it to be compatible with OS 4.5 and higher. The drop down list shows the 9105 (in you profile) as supported.

the folk with older systems have the better deal here as most are not compatable on os7 yet

Is it just me or has the give away stopped? 2 aps have shown up since it began and they were in the first 2 days. We are almost 7 days into the "give away" and nothing new... Any word on why?

RIM indicated that the applications would be released gradually between October 19 and the end of November. Just be patient. Lots of time left.
