(Before It's News)

It looks like some changes have surfaced in BlackBerry App World.  RIM let us know earlier this morning that several categories in App World have been changed and added.  I am glad to see that the categories are a lot more organized as it becomes easier to find what you’re looking for.  One thing I notice is that the Beta category has been killed completely.  RIM has decided to have those applications go to their respective categories instead.  Check out the full change log below:

  • News: The News category has been expanded to include magazines. This category is now called News and Magazines and includes Blogs as a subcategory.
  • Beta: The Beta category is discontinued. The apps located the Beta category have been moved to relevant categories.
  • Reference and eBooks & Education: The Books and Reference category has been divided in to separate categories so that these are now individual categories respectively. The Reference category includes Education. This new category is Education & Reference.
  • Shopping: The Shopping category has been renamed Lifestyle.
  • Maps & Navigation: The Maps & Navigation category now includes Travel and has been renamed Navigation and Travel.
  • Music Creation (*NEW*): There is a new subcategory Music Creation available under the Music and Audio category.
  • Children’s Categories (*NEW*): There are two new children’s focused categories:
  • New Children’s Games category within the Games Channel
  • New Children’s Books subcategory within the Books category
Now we just have to use BlackBerry App World and see if these changes have made a difference with browsing through categories looking for applications.  Based on the information we’ve seen so far, it looks good!
