App World

Yesterday at the CTIA Wireless conference in Las Vegas, RIM officially announced their own version of Apple's App Store, called App World. BlackBerry users can rejoice and download apps like Facebook, AIM, Pandora, and other useful apps right from their smartphone using their PayPal account.

Inside the App World, you can search apps by most popular, category, and highest rated. Plus, now that you can stream TV shows on your BlackBerry, who needs another device? And the best part is, you'll only see apps that are compatible with your model, so you won't be accidentally downloading apps you can't use.

However, you will need a BlackBerry that's running OS 4.2 or higher to download. Check out more screenshots of the App World over on Crave.
