Title: RIM offers developers $10,000 incentive for certified apps
Post by: bigsofty on 2012-May-02
OK GLBasic does not support Blackberry but RIM has just announced a new C++ NDK so I suppose the possibility of future support may be there.

The $10000 dollar award goes to anyone who writes an app and it makes at least $1000. They have $100 million to give away.

It's good to see a Phone company throw a bone to us guys once in a while.  :good:

I sent them a letter asking for a dev device. Maybe there's a way to get one.

One day, a marketing genius will become famous for giving out free devices to team of developers, who are the non-consumers.  :whistle:

Really, I'd like a free unit but I would guarantee at least 50k free downloads to $1000 but with a team. The idea would be to have a lot of downloads early for a new device sales.
