It’s out! Although in beta. BlackBerry is sure stepping up, not to be left behind by Nokia and Apple. The BlackBerry Widget Packager 1.0 Beta allows developers to pack all their developing goodness into a little widget which they can export.
There’s a conference for this — on November 9-12, RIM will be holding a session for developers who want to develop apps for the Blackberry platform. You can also proceed here for more details.
The developer tool can be found here.
Repeat charges for iPhone 3 beta downloads

If you’re planning on getting the beta for iPhone 3.0, we suggest not taking the risk as there are reports of you having to re-purchase applications that were downloaded before, thus having to pay for them all over again. We’re sure Apple will refund you through the store when 3.0 comes out, but I persoanlly would rather not take the risk.

Nokia’s Ovi Store at Full Throttle

With some criticism on the store launch, all in all the Nokia Ovi store delivers the promise of a central hub for purchasing applications and building a developer community base. What I found more intriguing was the transparency and quickness of reaction from the Nokia Conversations blog that did admit to some server hiccups. See, corporate blogs work!
