  • Blackberry’s 26 Advantages over iPhone [View article]
    Blackberry also has thousands of free apps. I guess the comparison is that the iPhone has something like 60,000+ applications in total, whereas Blackberry has 2,000+ applications in AppWorld and many thousands (tens of thousands?) available outside AppWorld. Ultimately, however, it's hard to measure quality vs. quantity. That said, Blackberry has got some work to do here, but remember that AppWorld launched April 1, 2009 -- a relatively long time after Apple's AppStore.
