How do you get your application on the Featured section in the BlackBerry app world?开发者_C百科

Thanks!

When one of our applications was featured in the BlackBerry App World, we were contacted by RIM directly.

However, RIM has a section in their BlackBerry App World FAQ which addresses this:

Yes. To nominate your application, you must send an email to blackberryappworldmarketing@rim.com with the following information:

• Vendor name

What factors are taken into consideration when selecting feature applications?

The following items are considered when selecting feature applications:

• Vendor account must be in good standing

In the event your application is selected to be featured, you’ll be contacted (via email provided in nomination) 1-4 weeks prior to feature placement.
