Alec Saunders, VP of Developer Relations, just took the stage at RIM's DevCon gathering in Amsterdam to build up and promptly knock down a few "myths" about RIM's
state of health. First up, he tackled the notion that BlackBerry is a declining platform by saying that App World is seeing six million downloads per day, which is up 30 percent from three months ago. He also rejected the idea that BB app devs don't make money, revealing that 13 percent of them have made over $100,000 from their products and that App World generates 40 percent more revenue than the Android Market. Lastly, Saunders said "we're sorry" that RIM's strategy has been "hard to understand" for "some people", but added that
BB 10 will solve that problem. He said that the new OS represents a "simple and easy-to-understand strategy" that is about combining the best of
QNX and the current
BB OS, offering consistent cloud services and making software that is both backwards and forwards compatible.
