Als Entschädigung für die BlackBerry Internet Service Ausfälle der letzten Woche bietet RIM ab dem 19. Oktober eine Reihe von Premium Apps zum kostenlosen Download aus der AppWorld an. Dazu zählen bisher:
- SIMS 3 – Electronic Arts
- Bejeweled – Electronic Arts
- N.O.V.A. – Gameloft
- Texas Hold’em Poker 2 – Gameloft
- Bubble Bash 2 – Gameloft
- Photo Editor Ultimate – Ice Cold Apps

- iSpeech Translator Pro – iSpeech.org
- Drive Safe.ly Enterprise – iSpeech.org

- Vlingo Plus: Virtual Assistant – Vlingo
In der Pressemeldung ist sogar von noch mehr Anwendungen die Rede. Die Aktion wird außerdem bis zum 31. Dezember laufen. Der Gesamtwert aller Downloads liegt bei ca. 100$. Natürlich hängt es auch vom jeweiligen Gerät ab, ob die App Verfügbar ist. Meiner Meinung nach ist das ein feiner Zug von RIM, hoffen wir, dass sich damit einige erhitzte Gemüter wieder etwas beruhigen lassen. Enterprise-Kunden können unter der URL: www.blackberry.com/enterpriseoffer ebenfalls auf kostenlose Support Dienste für eine beschränkte Zeit zurückgreifen.
