A VCs view on BlackBerry Apps

Fred Wilson expresses his desire of BlackBerry very well in his post linked below, by saying the physical form factor and keyboard are the reasons he sticks with BlackBerry devices. So its a hardware thing. Certainly if there was a webkit browser it looks like many more people would be staying or adopting BB. Of course, the teenager perspective is important too, with BB Messenger being the killer app for his daughters – thats fantastic although only realistic in the countries where BB has hit critical mass – to me thats North America only. However you see it though there is a few compelling reasons for people to stick with BlackBerry which can only be good for us developers.

Fred Wilsons thoughts on BlackBerry Apps

Nice to see other people with similar thoughts on the subject, heres hoping RIM are listening and acting.

oh and P.S. RIM: get App World pushed out to everyone, STAT!
