Hints at more B2B BlackBerry App Worlds for operators?
Research In Motion has acquired mobile applications store firm Cellmania, it has emerged.
Cellmania revealed the news on its website, with a message claiming that "Our team has joined RIM's global organization and will continue to bring our expertise in Application Storefront development to the BlackBerry platform."
Cellmania builds and runs app stores for operators and other brands, and has worked with T-Mobile and Sprint in the US.
The question is what RIM plans to do with its new acquisition.
The company has always made a virtue of its close relationships with operators, so one theory is that it plans to use Cellmania as the basis for a new wave of carrier-branded BlackBerry App World stores.
