RIM Offers Free Apps Following Outage

Posted by samzenpus on Monday October 17, 2011 @02:50AM from the please-come-back dept.

wiredmikey writes "Following a series of outages last week that affected BlackBerry users around the word over a three day period, RIM has come forward with its plans to "make good" on the incidents that frustrated millions of users who bashed the mobile technology provider. Research In Motion today said it would offer a selection of premium apps worth more than US $100 free of charge to subscribers as 'an expression of appreciation for their patience during the recent service disruptions.' The company also announced that its enterprise customers will also be offered one month of free Technical Support."

I wasn't even aware there was $100 worth of apps on the BlackBerry app store to begin with!

The only thing missing from this 'premium' list is a fart app.

RIM: "As a show of...appreciation for your patience during the recent service disruptions, umm...here's a sandwich!"
Customer: "But-"
RIM: "Thanks for coming everybody! Goodnight!"
Customer: "Noooo! Wait!"
RIM: "What? You got your sandwich!"
