BlackBerry App World On April 1; RIM Setting Up Unlimited TV Downloads?

To rival Apple and the iPhone even more, BlackBerry will be releasing their App World on April 1. The pricing of the apps are a bit more expensive than the iPhone's, so that's already a negative. Hopefully, the apps themselves will be a little bit better than the iPhone's apps, so we'll just have to see how this works out.

In other news today, BlackBerry continues to try to trump the iPhone by possibly releasing unlimited TV downloads. RIM is expected to launch unlimited TV downloads on a subscription-based plan. "Most long-form videos still have to be transferred from a host computer, and most streaming services, such as YouTube or TV.com, typically only offer short clips." It's not confirmed yet, but it could be true. We'll see in the near future.
