#BlackBerry App Store Philippines

Research In Motion (RIM) today announced that BlackBerry App World is now available to all BlackBerry smartphone customers in the Philippines. Customers can now download BlackBerry App World by going to www.blackberry.com/appworld or mobile.blackberry.com using their handsets. Popular BlackBerry App World applications available in the Philippines include BlackBerry Messenger, Facebook, Flickr, Bloomberg Mobile, Flixster, Chum Radio, Kaglom, Three Squared Demo, WorldMate Live: Travel Like a Pro, and Goal.com. Apple has introduced a new subscription option on the App Store that lets users pay monthly while committing for 12 months. Developers can now set up this subscription type using App Store Connect and test it using Xcode. Lastly, Apple has also announced that the movies and TV shows currently available for rent on the iTunes Store will also be present in the Apple TV app. It was then not surprising when RIM announced the BlackBerry Storm with a full touch screen interface -- an arena that competing manufacturer Apple is making big waves with its iPhone. Just got a call from the PR Manager of Apple Asia informing me about the official launch of the Apple Online Store in the Philippines.
