RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis has already apologized for last week's widespread BlackBerry outage,
but apparently, that wasn't enough. Today, the manufacturer announced
that it's offering customers a full slate of "premium apps" for free, in
the hopes of earning back some of the goodwill it lost following that
mysterious blackout. In a statement, the company said the gesture is "an
expression of appreciation" for the patience that many BlackBerry users
demonstrated during the incident, with Lazaridis adding that his
company remains "committed to providing the high standard of
reliability" that consumers have come to expect. For now, the company's
offering a total of 12 apps (collectively valued at around $100),
including SIMS 3, iSpeech Translator Pro and Shazam Encore among others,
though more will be added at a later date. The offer kicks off on
Wednesday and will last for a month, so head past the break to see which
goodies are up for grabs.
