Frank sent me a link to an article on BiosMagazine talking about the launch of a new BlackBerry store in the UK. This is not a RIM sponsored or owned store but is rather run by a company called Scancom. They hope to push the BlackBerry platform including training, hosted BES, devices, and wireless plans.
The new store is called the BlackBerry Centre and their new hosted BES service is called BBDirect.

I wonder if these BlackBerry centered stores will take off. Could be that RIM is waiting on the sidelines to see if these stores succeed. All I can say is that the Apple Store by me in Manhattan is making a killing…
