BlackBerry -Most Popular Smartphone

BlackBerrys are the most popular smartphone due to their wide variety of models and availability on five different national carriers. If RIM can just get its existing developers to join BlackBerry App World, it will already have a powerful catalog. App World will entice more people to use BlackBerry, as people find it convenient to use the phone for which lots of applications are available at one place.Now, you will find many smart phone makers planning to launch or have launched their own application stores which host all types of free and paid software which can be downloaded to the handset. The trend was started by Apple with its App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch.It's been less than a year since Apple launched the iPhone App Store, but now virtually every mobile OS is showcasing its own take on the mobile application storefront.App Store has very limited number of applications far lower than Apple’s App Store and Google’s Android Market. So, first it needs to grow faster and bigger. Then only it can become a strong contender in the booming smart phone application market RIM will need to improve its selection of apps. Probably it can include some more apps for the professional and business category, personal finance and banking and mapping. As more people use BlackBerry for work so these categories will be more suitable.
