RIM launches BlackBerry eBay app
Published: 26 Nov 2009 16:24 GMT
RIM's BlackBerry App World is slowly but surely gaining ground as a storefront for distributing BlackBerry applications. eBay is the latest major company to forge a presence in the storefront, in the form of an eBay app for BlackBerry auctioneers in the US and Canada.
The official eBay for BlackBerry application, which was co-developed by eBay and RIM, includes features to search for, track and buy an item from the smartphone. The app accepts PayPal payments — PayPal has not only been an eBay company since 2002, it is also currently the only payment system for purchasing BlackBerry apps through the App World.
In addition to allowing users to search and buy, the eBay app will notify you of your bidding status, including when you have won or lost a bid. It can also schedule auction-related reminders in the BlackBerry calendar.
