In an era where smartphone usage is more about applications, RIM is yet to make the BlackBerry App World available in Pakistan. App World was made available in the United Arab Emirates only recently.

The App World becomes even more important, for RIM, with the launch of the Blackberry Playbook Tablet PC. We find use of the PlayBook pointless without the ability to download and install applications.

Availability is for RIM’s own good. For their own fast dwindling business, especially with the rise of the Android OS.

There is no clear timeline from RIM on when AppWorld will be available in Pakistan either, we can only hope that blog posts such as this one will reach the BlackBerry manufacturer’s ears!
