We were told that the BlackBerry Jam World Tour is only constrained by the number of BlackBerry Dev Alpha devices that RIM can manufacture. One of the reasons the manufacturing process isn’t up to speed is because there’s issues with some parts having an end-of-life and thus creating a bottleneck. It seems RIM has freed up more Alpha devices or they’ve just figured out a way to squeeze another city in the tour because Montreal is now an available as a city. You can’t currently register for the Montreal Jam session on July 11th, but surely you will be able to soon.

Helio Design Labs is based in Toronto, Canada and the company was commissioned to design a loop-able, ambient video featuring RIM Developers and Evangelists. The video was made by taking the employee headshots and processing them into an abstract mosaic of letters, numbers and code snippets using Cinema 4D. The animation was inspired by Tobias Muthesius’ and Juliette Champain’s project “Face to Face”. Check it out after the break.

Developers just recently got an email from RIM saying there has been some significant changes made to the App World categories. Some of the more notable changes include a Music Creation category (perhaps for more apps like Pace Maker), and the Beta category has been dropped. RIM has also added some new categories for children, which makes sense considering all the new Kids content for PlayBook.

Motek Mobile is a cool app company that has been making great apps for BlackBerry for a long time now. The company has 6.5M daily active users and recently, we heard the President of the company say that Screen Muncher once did 409,000 downloads in a single day. That’s a pretty incredible number by any standard and it definitely smashes the myth that BlackBerry apps can’t get huge download numbers. There are 77 million BlackBerry subscribers after all.

RIM may or may not be sponsoring NxNE but they’ll be sponsors of the AT&T Mobile App Hackathon. The event is produced by the AT&T Developer Program and Apigee and it’s designed for attendees (technical and non-technical), to build apps and compete for prizes. The hackathon is open to any platform or programming language. If your coding skills are a little rusty, there will be live developer support from local senior developers as well as from AT&T, Sencha, and Apigee to help you code faster and more effectively.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to sell your app given the sheer volume of apps in many of the app stores. Developers often don’t have time or don’t want to market their apps, and would probably rather spend time coding and developing the apps. But apps can be more than hobbies, they can be businesses, startups and potentially a source of retirement (not likely but we can all dream). In an interview with Rob Woodbridge at Untether.tv, we talk about 10 clear ways that developers can sell their mobile applications. I also talk a lot about the startup I’ve been working on, Pretzil. It’s a mobile app discovery network so everything ties in nicely.
