据pocket gamer的消息称，BlackBerry旗下的App World截止到2010年8月已经拥有超过10000的活跃应用，这个数值在2010年2月份的时候还不足6000。

尽管BlackBerry的竞争对手Apple旗下的App Store有超过250000的活跃应用，google旗下的Android Market也有超过100000的活跃拥有。

但是据disitimo的研究分析称两大手机游戏厂商法国的Gameloft和美国的EA Mobile旗下游戏的推广平台更多集中在blackberry，iphone/ipad的比例较少，而android所占的比较就更少。

It’s perhaps not the most exciting mobile app store, at least in terms of games, but RIM is steadily building out the quantity and quality of apps available for BlackBerry users.

It’s finally breached the 10,000 mark, rising from just over 6,000 in March 2010, or 85 percent over the seven month period.

Surprisingly it also has one of the highest price averages, in part thanks to its historic minimum price of $2.99 per app, since dropped to 99c.

In comparison, Apple’s App Store is now over 250,000 while over 100,000 have been submitted to the Android Market.

Of course, when it comes to games, the majority of BlackBerry titles are Java rather than native code, but with newer devices supporting OpenGL ES 1.0, there’s the potential for more advanced releases.

Indeed, just in terms of the number of releases, it’s significant that big publishers such as EA Mobile and Gameloft have released more BlackBerry games than for any other smartphone.（source：pocket gamer）
