Ok, it's official, every mobile phone provider and their brother has an application store for mobile phones. It started with the Apple App Store. Google launched the Android Market. Then last month Microsoft launched Windows Marketplace. Supposedly, Palm is launching the Palm App Catalog.
Well BlackBerry/RIM couldn't be left out in the cold. Today, they are lauching something bigger than an App Store or a Marketplace. It's officially named the storefront BlackBerry App World.
The site for developers will be updated and should be live by 10pm tonight.
At the same time, they will launch a sign up page for users who want to be alerted when BlackBerry App World goes live. They should go register at www.blackberry.com/appworld.
I'm going to check it out tonight and see if any VoIP apps are available.

Huh... I think you missed something. Nokia launched their "Ovi Store" concept quite a while ago:

As RIM's it is not yet open for customers, however.
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle! Nokia too? Two week old news about the Ovi Store - guess I missed it. Thanks for setting me straight. How bout "c'mon LG, where's your app store?".
Though rumors are they have one coming in Q2.
