    I know everybody's first reaction will be "yes, all mobile stores need to do this; are you listening iTunes/Apple!?!?"

    But in reality...how often do you NOT have your phone with you to do this directly? If I see an app right now for the iPhone, I sure would NOT be going to some web-interface to email myself a link; I'd just take out my phone and download...

    @DPeezy: for some folks like myself who have big meaty hands, its easier to interface with a keyboard and mouse. It okay to surf on the Berry when I have no alternative, but if I have my druthers, I would much rather use a pc.

    @OMG! TenderRonis!: you know, this is just a sign of the apocalypse. i understood letting machines do our menial chores for us, like monitoring vital systems over the globe, but when we start making machines do core functions in our stead, e.g. farting, that's when i fear for our inevitable demise.

    In reply to About Those Other App Stores
    I still haven't figured out what "app stores" means yet, so talking about even more of them is bound to confuse me even further. I'll have my five year old explain it to me on non-fancy words that I can understand, like "stuff" and, well, "other stuff".


    Seriously, though, you are peering over the edge of a slippery slope. Some might question why we do not cover software for all electronic gadgets - which would include just about every store on this vast communication portal we call the inter-tubes, and the more stores on the list, the more their argument makes sense when you have drunk a fifth of Southern Comfort. Don't give in to them! Just hide behind the tired old apple-fanboi excuse and give 'em a middle finger salute.


    Or, alternatively - I kinda do look forward to reading about how the other "half" of app stores live, so - carry on.

    @Zisko is currently shooting for a star: You mean besides the fact that it is running on a "made for suits" BlackBerry? Beats me.


    I actually hear word that the BlackBerry Storm 2 will be significantly improved and will sport a new App store. Here's hoping it doesn't suck like the Storm 1 did/does.

    @Andre Goersch: Andre, you do not understand what it means to be a star commenter. I do. I am one. And it is a burden, and a calling, I wish on no one.


    Remember the movie "The Last Starfighter"? Remember how, in order to recruit fighters for an impending galactic invasion, a seemingly-innocent video game was used to identify and then conscript the most talented soldiers? Well, that's what it's like for us star commenters. One day we were, each of us, just fooling around a bit with Gizmodo or Lifehacker or io9, maybe even Consumerist before it was sold like a cheap whore, commenting here and there, dropping the occasional snark bomb or maybe adding a thoughtful bit of information to a story lacking any research or detail when--WHAM!--we found ourselves suddenly conscripted to "star commenter" status. We didn't ask for it. We didn't necessarily even want it. But it was foist upon us nonetheless. And it's a thankless task. But, it has to be done, or so we are told via regularly-issued staff memos from Nick Denton and his underlings, BLam and the Chenster.


    And what's it like as a star commener? It's a lonely life. Tethered as we are to our chairs in front of a computer whose browser filters out all but the Gawker media network, it is our job, day in and day out, to be those star commenters. To read. To comment. And to reply, as I'm doing now.


    So, please, don't take poor ol' Snow Peas! to task. He's only doing what he has been called on to do, to entertain the schlubs of the universe, even at the expense of having his own life. Indeed, instead of mocking him, you might consider thanking him, or even befriending him. All it takes to make a star commenter's day--or, really, any commenter--is a little "heart-click" of approval.


    Thank you for your understanding.

    I have played around with the App World since came out, and I think they made it thinking mostly on the storm. As it is so smooth and easy go around the store.


    The selection is not the best, but no store opens with thousands of Apps, Apple Store didn't start with thousands either. This thing is only one (1) day old. Give it time!!

    @venc: This is Giz, remember? If it isn't the Jesus phone then it's automatically crap. And it's not like they'll ever give it a second review, because again, that's reserved for the iPhone exclusively.

    Since the cheapest Blackberry App is 2.99, and the cheapest App Store app is .99, that makes Blackberry more like Whole Foods and Apple more like Target at the cash register.
