It’s true that the carriers might stop something like this but it would be a fair compromise to include a tutorial about how to download from the carrier deck as well. You could discuss the relative advantages and everything.

But yes, you’re right, there’s a lot of politics at hand.

Thanks for posting a great idea, kyle.

Now, from what I heard at DevCon and WES this year, the reason why you are not and may not be seeing this for some time is actually the carriers. Remember, they are the ones who get last say on what gets pre-installed on BlackBerries. And the carriers haven’t finished their negotiations with RIM as to what they feel is a “piece of the pie” that is rightfully theirs – App World revenue – hence why many don’t even pre-load App World on new devices.

And knowing carriers like AT&T and Rogers, do you think they would do something for the pure benefit of consumers without having the ability to extract maximum cash payout in the process? I think not!

More memory for applications would sell more apps. I feel constricted with my 9700. A new blackberry for 2011 NEEDS at least 2.4gb of ram.
