Today RIM has announced its BlackBerry App World 2.0 is out of beta and will start to push out the update notification for current BlackBerry App World user in the next few hours. The new version will support carrier / credit card billing support, BlackBerry ID and new section for application listing.





When we launched the beta just a few weeks ago, we were able to offer new views, and
carrier and credit card billing support. We also integrated BlackBerry ID as a new
way of tying BlackBerry customers with their use for easy device switching and
management.

* Credit Card Payment Option
With the new BlackBerry App World, customers are able to purchase applications using
major credit cards, including Visa and MasterCard. Carrier billing may also be
supported by certain carriers.

* Easier Application Discovery
BlackBerry App World adds new tabbed sections for various applications lists. Users
can horizontally swipe or scroll to quickly view the Top 25 Free Apps, Top 25 Paid
Apps and Top 25 Themes, as well as the Newest Apps and Recently Updated Apps.

QR barcode scanning is also supported, allowing users to scan a QR code associated
with an application from anywhere – the web, print ads, brochures, etc. BlackBerry
App World will quickly find the related application, and automatically open and
download its page.

* BlackBerry ID
BlackBerry ID provides customers with a device-independent user identification (ID)
for BlackBerry App World. It enables credit card payments and allows customers to
seamlessly transfer their personal library of free and purchased apps when they
switch to a new BlackBerry smartphone.
