BlackBerry App World was recently updated to BlackBerry App World 2 beta mode and can be used in over 65 countries. You can read about the recent update here.

Following close on the heels of the above update to BlackBerry App World we hear that there are now over 10K Apps on BlackBerry App World. You may think so what - the Apple App store has over 250K. In fact, there were over 10K Apps in the Apple App store during its first month online.

In May this year we confirmed that BlackBerry had 7K Apps on BlackBerry App World and in September this has been increased to 10K. Not a significant growth rate. With this in mind, BlackBerry bought cellmania last month. Cellmania  is a leading player in the field of App store development and distribution. Read about this here.

It will be very interesting to see what effect cellmania's expertise can do to boost BlackBerry App World and we will keep an eye on this.
