Blackberry launched their App World in India a few a days ago, and so I went ahead and did a bit of look into.

First thing. Paid apps are not available. Only free apps. While this may be a good thing to draw more people in, there are a whole lot of users willing to spend money to buy some great paid apps. Allowing paid apps would have also given Indian Developers a platform to showcase their India Specific Blackberry apps.

Anyway, over to free apps.

  2. Facebook is sharing too much data about our personal lives and the conversations that we have with our friends with it’s partners.
  3. Facebook is closed. You can get your photos, videos and other stuff in, but will not be able to export them out of Facebook.
