The first thing I noticed when firing up the new BlackBerry App World is that Shazam has finally been released for BlackBerry. We now have a free (until may 31st) music ID/recognition application for BlackBerry. From what the app says it should be $4.99 for life after May 31st but I could be wrong. Check it out in the app store since there is no direct download link for the app!

Hope they release a OTA link for non US, non Uk residents (the only ones permitted to use app store as for now)

Obviously I haven’t tried to hook up the App Store, but is this really true Canada, the home of RIM, is off limits to the App Store?!

You’re not. There is no link provided. You can find it in the AppStore if you’re from USA/UK as far as I know. I can’t get it because of that.

I am with Orange UK and had the same problem in the morning. It keeps telling me my BlackBerry Bold is a “device that is not supported”. But in the afternoon I disabled the firewall on the Bold and restarted the phone, then tried again. It worked. I now have App World installed and downloaded some free stuff (not much though) on there.

Honestly, as much as I love Shazam on the iPhone, I think it’s complete crap that they’re going to charge for the BlackBerry app. Why the heck do iPhone people get it for free and we don’t? Grrrrr

In setting up the app, I believe it said that after the initial free period, you could still tag music without paying the fee.
