But there's money to be made on RIM devices, claims developer relations director
RIM's director of developer relations Mike Kirkup has suggested that thanks to jailbroken (or rooted) devices, users are not buying Android apps anymore.
Speaking to ME sister site Develop he asserted that the Blackberry platform remains largely unaffected by such concerns, and thanks to RIM's recent drive to make the platform more appealing to developers, there is plenty of room to generate revenue when creating titles for the App World store.
"People actually make money selling games on the Blackberry platform today," said Kirkup. "There’s not people jailbreaking devices to rip them off. No one’s buying applications through the Android market today. People are actually spending real money to buy applications on Blackberry, and there’s a whole bunch of services coming to augment that as well."
