In part of the 10k developer reward/commitment program, BlackBerry has pushed out a section showing all Built for BlackBerry apps. What exactly is Built for BlackBerry and how can developer’s apps be part of the program?
Apps with the Built for BlackBerry program designation will signify to customers a higher level of quality. With a crowded app market, this designation may increase the chances of your app being downloaded.
Productivity apps, lifestyle apps, games and other apps can be submitted to the Built for BlackBerry program. The Built for BlackBerry designation tells users that your application has passed an added level of evaluation and that your app meets RIM’s high standards for quality and performance.
Built for BlackBerry apps will appear in BlackBerry World with the Built for BlackBerry logo, increasing their visibility to the user community.
