Get ready for useless apps flooding App World

BlackBerry App World has been quite a decent place to get apps for your phone. If you are a BlackBerry user, you know what I mean, and if you don’t, you will see the change very soon because of the two announcements, one of which came just a couple of days ago.

BlackBerry waives the registration and submission fees

Though, the site says it’s a limited time offer, which it really could be, but I can predict that it will continue to be a permanent offer. I have a reason to believe so, because App-World has been hungry for getting more content published by third party and grow the store very quickly. Moreover, the hunger is reflected in another change that came pretty much un-announced or was less visible.

BlackBerry App World accepts 0.99 and 1.99 apps now

This happened more than a month ago. Before that, the BlackBerry apps prices were restricted to be $2.99 as a minimum or Free if the vendor wants. The idea of adding smaller price slab possibility is to allow vendors to sell lesser value apps and to bring cut-throat competition causing users to pull down their app and content prices even lower than 2.99.

What Next?

On the positive side, BlackBerry App-World, with above two changes will drastically grow in next few months in terms of number of apps and themes available. The users will have a wider set of options when choosing and downloading apps.

On the down side, the users will come across more useless apps that usually don’t add any value for them. As a result they will end up wasting time and money on these apps, at least some of them will, till the app gets negative reviews to land at the bottom.

So, here we are with the change and lets watch it happening now!

BlackBerry Photo Editor – Top App for you BlackBerry

Posted by BA on Sep 13, 2010 in BlackBerry, BlackBerry Apps, Mobile, Mobile Apps | 0 comments

Finally a photo editing software that is feature rich, simple and easy to use. If you are looking for a software that allows you to edit the photos you take on your BlackBerry, wait no further, download “Photo Editor” on your phone and see the magic.

The editor allows you to crop out unwanted edges and corners of the photos, lets you rotate them before you email them, gives you the liberty and style to change your photo to sapia or black’n white after you’ve taken it and even you can adjust the brightness and contrast of your photo.

You can download the app here or if you are curious, here is a simple example walkthrough.

I took this photo using my BlackBerry 9700

It’s okay on the device but when sending the photo to a PC, this should be rotated first, so first thing I do is launch the photo editor to edit this photo before sending.

This is the usual Photo Editor interface

Then I selected to rotate the photo.

As I promised to keep you guys updated with the valuable BlackBerry apps, here’s another must-have application for your BlackBerry. Viigo is basically a feature rich RSS reader. You download this app for free, make an account and add your RSS feeds to it. You can read your RSS feeds anywhere and everywhere you can carry your handset.

The app comes preloaded with several interesting RSS feeds, weather feeds, score feeds and a directory of feeds and podcast to search from. If you subscribe to video or audio podcast, you can download and play media on your BlackBerry device and it works seamlessly with the native blackberry media player.

I’ve been using it for years now as it has been a very useful tool. Viigo for BlackBerry is such a useful tool that in March 2010, Research in Motion (RIM), manufacturers of BlackBerry handsets, acquired Viigo and now Viigo team is part of research in motion.

So don’t wait and go download Viigo for your BlackBerry now..
