RIM sees 15,000 Apps submitted for Blackberry 10 in 2 days
You remember a few days ago, or late last week when RIM tried to bribe developers $100 for every app that was approved? Well, it looks like it’ working.
Their incentivized online ‘port-a-thon’ hosted by RIM has seen more than 15,000 apps submitted for BlackBerry 10 in just 37.5 hours (just under 2 days).
Alec Saunders RIMs VP of developer relations noted that while there were 15,000 apps submitted not all of them were likely to pass RIM’s vetting process.
Given, if they were to give away the $100 to all the 15,000 developers that would be $1.5 million, maybe more depending on other variables. Sure pundits say this is a sign of how ‘eager’ RIM is to get developer support (apps made) on their platform, but the fact of the matter is..they DO have some catching up to do, so I see nothing wrong with it.
