Blackberry App World Launches in Australia and New Zealand
Addicts of Blackberry in Australia and New Zealand received an early Christmas present with the launch of Blackberry App World.
Maybe this will get Blackberry sales up in the land down under while the iPhone goes on walkabout. You never know. Hey at least you’ve learned something new about that part of the world. Something that has nothing to do with Nicole Kidman hailing from there, Mad Max movies, kangaroos or vegemite.
BlackBerry App World can be accessed over both Wi-Fi® and mobile phone networks in Australia and New Zealand and can be downloaded directly to the smartphone.
To download the Aussie version of BlackBerry App World, all you need to do is go to www.blackberry.com/appworld or http://mobile.blackberry.com/ from your device’s browser.
