-AppWorld has over 36,000 applications since it was launched in May 2011.
RIM’s representative then gave us a sneak peek on BlackBerry’s latest OS 7.1 features such as:
-FM Radio: Users can share music.
-Wi-Fi Hotspot: Up to 5 devices can share WiFi connectivity.
-NFC-enabled: Users can share media files, information, URLS instantly by tapping NFC-Enabled BlackBerry phones.
