RIM’s newly-named BlackBerry App World might be all set to compete with the other mobile app stores on the scene, but it’s not going head-to-head on price: according to the developer docs, the first price tier above free is $2.99. That doesn’t seem like much, but it’s a little puzzling in light of how successful various less-expensive iPhone apps have been. Of course, RIM might just want its apps to seem more valuable to customers — and maybe keep fart apps far from its business-oriented platform — but we’ll see how developers react when things go live.
