RIM Is Making It Even Harder to Get Quality PlayBook Apps

RIM is killing the option to sideload apps in a future build of the PlayBook OS in an attempt to curb piracy. This means that they’ll have to be added directly through BlackBerry App World, similar to Apple’s M.O. with the App Store. This is bad news if you own a PlayBook, because it’s a…
