Now More Than 2,000 BlackBerry Apps

It might look humble next to Apple's App Store, but there are now more than 2,000 programs available at BlackBerry's App World.

BlackBerry’s App World is growing quickly. It might seem like small fruit next to the 50,000 programs at Apple’s App Store, but it’s quickly risen to 2,000 and growing for the smartphone since its launch in March.

Of course, it’s aimed mostly at non-business customers, and RIM, the company behind the device, hasn’t said how many downloads there have been. According to Information Week, however, the company is pleased with the numbers, especially as the cheapest program is $2.99.

RIM has said that App World will soon be launching in several countries, including Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Brazil, and India.
