Want to try your hand at writing a new app for the Blackberry 10?
If you can write an app that makes $1000 in the first year on it’s own, RIM will GIVE you up to an extra $9,000! They’re guaranteeing that good apps can be worth up to $10,000 for new developers.
Here are the details…
Alec Saunders, RIM’s VP of Developer Relations, revealed at BlackBerry World that RIM will guarantee developers of quality apps a minimum of $10,000 in annual earnings — if developers come in under the $10K mark during their first year, RIM will actually pay them the difference.
Ah, but there’s a catch (isn’t there always?). In order to qualify for RIM’s generous offer, the apps in question must meet a strict new quality certification program whose standards have yet to be laid concretely laid out. One thing is known for sure though — once an app has been officially approved for sale in the App World and nabs that new certification, it has to generate at least $1,000 on its own before RIM swoops in and cuts the developer a check.
