BlackBerry App World has reached 2,000 apps, doubling the number of applications, reported a Bloomberg article.
RIM's App world is expanding this month to users in Italy, France, Germany
and Spain. India and Brazil will be on board in the next few months, said Jeff McDowell vice president of global alliances.
Although the numbers are not close to the 50,000 iPhone apps, McDowell said they are "very happy" with the volume of application
downloads from App World."
He noted that there are diverse BlackBerry apps with enough variety of
music, video, and games to compete with iPhone apps. Developers are developing programs to match the lifestyles of
overseas customers, with applications devoted to Bollywood films
and cricket in India, and soccer in Europe, McDowell told Bloomberg.
