Following RIM’s launch of BlackBerry 10 at the BlackBerry 10 Jam, is Research In Motion’s plan to set up a certification program for its developers who will create high quality applications on its platform. RIM is preparing program with new incentives for the developers who will be participating.
It’s been announced that the chosen developers who can build a “quality” app that RIM likes can win as much as $10,000, which is great for students and small projects but it remains to be seen what kind of apps RIM can get with a $10k incentive, which represents the monthly salary of many programmers in Silicon Valley.
