So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
I was so excited to get my new 9780 today in the mail and once I started using it I was shocked to find how many apps are missing for OS6! Yikes! When is BB going to get on the ball about these apps?! I know RIM just put out a press release with OS6 launch stating they were going to be much more competitive in the apps world. This really doesn't seem like it. LAME!:x(n)

Now can I download the .alx and .cod files to my PC and load them manually??? Yes, but I run linux so it will be a bit painful. Now RIM being more competitive in the app market is 2 fold. For starters, appworld is the answer to Android Market and iTunes. I feel they have done a good job here. Secondly it is up to each individual app developer to ensure their app is compatible with RIM's latest platform. RIM can only do that for the apps they directly develop, like appworld, Facebook, BB Maps, etc. Yelp, PayPal and Pandora are not developed by RIM, and they have of yet put out an official version that is supported on OS 6 and for the 9780. Once they do that, RIM would put them up in appworld. So pressure the developers and direct your lack of support to them, not RIM. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |
Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
Oh your right! RIM has no pull in the mobile world. They can't put any pressure on these devs and say "get it out now or RIM won't ever house it and RIM customer can use your compitions apps instead!" Yeah, your right... This is a dog eat dog world, RIM states the will be agressive and this simply is not. Stand by what you say or don't say it at all. Simple. I'm sure steve jobs would release on new OS that had less app support than the last version??? Pshhh great idea RIM! Smooth move.

Do you have facts to stand on or are you just spouting? Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |
Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
These are facts. RIM is a huge player in thgis game, they have pull and you have used it before OS6 hit the sales floor. Period.

But you haven't provided any facts to justify your statement that RIM holds most of the blame. You've told other people what to do and failed to live up to your own standard. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |
Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
As you stated, I haven't spoke with RIM at all. So I haven't told anyone what to do, simply stated what they should have done. The only person here that has told anyone what to do is you.

Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
I just asked if you would do what you told fsager to do. And it appears you are unable to do so.
I don't have any problem with anyone's opinion, just people telling other people what they should or shouldn't have posted. At least not until you're a mod. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |
Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
Nothing to learn here - moving on and leaving this thread for you to beat each other up in...

But I will try to save this thread and teach you all. RIM has pull. They can pressure devs to get their apps out now, but at what cost? An inferior product? The dev refusing to develop for blackberry? As it stands, and I'm going to use Pandora as an example, although RIM controls their Appworld marketplace, what will ultimately drive Pandora to support OS6 and the 9780 is the fact that Slacker Radio already does, not because Pandora supports iOS and Android, and RIM is angry pandora doesn't. I could do a whole economic theory dissertation on this, but I'm a motorcoach operator and not an economist. |

Save and learn this- RIM promises to soothe BlackBerry app developers' woes, says 'we're so there' -- Engadget Put these facts in your pipes and smoke them. "There's no question that the BlackBerry App World hasn't been quite the runaway success RIM hoped it would be, but the company is far from ready to throw in the towel, and it's now promising some new measures to woo new developers and make the lives of current ones a bit easier. Some of those initiatives have already been rolled out -- like new payment options -- while others including a free analytics service will become available to developers in the coming weeks and months. As RIM's head of application development, Alan Brenner, explains to The Wall Street Journal, RIM has been working for the past two years to make BlackBerrys more developer friendly, and he now says that "we're so there." They may not be quite as close as they think, however, as the WSJ also spoke to a number of developers who used words like "horrible" to describe the current state of things, while leading mobile game developer PopCap Games even went so far as to say that "RIM today is not really on our radar.""

Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
Everyone has a hot button, and one of mine lately is members telling other members what they can or should post and what they shouldn't post. I don't look for fights and I won't apologize for asking someone to live up to their own instructions when they are critical of another member.

Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
Usaa app works on my 9800 with os6
Paypal app is working So is pandora Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |

With the device having recently come out I'd say the missing apps should be offically available for the 9780 shortly. If you can't wait, try installing the application manually or email the dev. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |
Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
I stand corrected, pandora is now available OTA off of pandora.com. I will clear my appworld cache and see if pops up there.
Still as I have said, BE PATIENT! Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |
Re: So many apps are missing for OS-6!!!
Pandora is now available in appworld. Alt+RST if you don't see it.
