BlackBerry Application Storefront Accepting Submissions

RIM’s answer to the App Store is due for a Spring ’09 launch according to their new page, and they are eagerly accepting submissions from developers for Blackberry programs.
The site claims ‘the storefront will be an ideal spot for developers to bring their applications – whether they are consumer-focused or targeted to business users.’
‘The market for BlackBerry applications is growing at a phenomenal rate and the application storefront will offer you the exciting opportunity to showcase your applications to millions of BlackBerry smartphone users. It will provide consumers with greater choice, and enhanced application discovery…’
Let’s hope so, everyone loves customisation and RIM’s Application Storefront (coincidence?) should be a hub for Blackberry users to get their fix. With the Android Market already in place, and Palm, Windows Mobile and Nokia bringing their own stores to handsets, 2oo9 is sure to be The Year of the App.
