The first App was downloaded from Blackberry App World when it was launched in April 2009. Fast forward to July 2011 when the one billionth App was downloaded. Great job BB App World…. Or is it? To date the Apple App Store is at 15 billion downloads & Andriod Market is at 4.5 billion downloads. Ok let’s rub it in even more….. the Apple App Store is at 5 billion downloads year to date & Andriod Market is running a half a billion a month.
Rim made the 1 billion milestone announce in their July 12, 2011 blog. Here’s a portion of the blog. ‘With BlackBerry App World™ 3.0 beta coming soon, I was thinking about the evolution of BlackBerry App World and how far we’ve come. The BlackBerry App World™ storefront launched a little over two years ago, and over that time, we’ve made many feature improvements, enhanced the look and feel, and added a ton of compelling apps. BlackBerry App World is now in over 100 countries, seeing an average of 3 million downloads per day, and we recently crossed the 1 billion app download milestone!’
