For those BlackBerry users who were wondering why App World was acting a bit wonky today before being removed by RIM, the answer is now clear. The latest version of BlackBerry App World, 2.1.1.2, is now ready to be downloaded on your 'Berry. If you have not yet received the OTA notice, you can try to refresh the older version of App World and it might show up. If not, be patient as your notification is probably making its way through all of the garbled internet traffic.
As we reported, App World is currently in a battle with Windows Market place for third and fourth place among the top online application stores. The latest figures had the former with 20,000 apps and the latter with 9,000. Apple's App Store leads with 350,000 apps with the hard charging Android Market second with 250,000.
RIM did not include a changelog in the release, so if you have upgraded your BlackBerry with the new build of App World, let us know about any changes you come across by simply writing about it in the comment box below. If you 'Berry supports App World and you don't have it on your handset, you can download it from this link.
