RIM wants Indian Devs to Make BB Apps

RIM is working hard to capture the Indian App developers to get them interested in building apps for RIM very own Blackberry platform.

We see huge opportunity in mobile application development. BlackBerry App World currently has 26,000-odd registered developers from India, against 5,000 two years ago, with the applications numbering over 40,000.

RIM also has an Apple-esque revenue share model where the profit is shared 70:30. So if you have a dev brewing up in you, now is the time to filter it out.

RIM is also pushing for NFC and its development in the country, which would make it a boon for enterprise customers.
