RIM has announced the details to two initiatives to attract developers to the BlackBerry 10 platform: the US$10k Developer Commitment initiative and Built for BlackBerry initiatives.
RIM BlackBerry 10 US$10K Developer Commitment.
First announced during BlackBerry 10 Jam Singapore, the US$10,000 Developer Commitment initiative is offered to developers that meet the following criteria.
US$10K Developer Commitment
Developers must certify their apps through the Built for BlackBerry program and submit them prior to the launch of BlackBerry 10.
RIM Built for BlackBerry developer initiative.
Over the period of 12 months from launch of BlackBerry 10, if the app earns at least US$1,000 on its own but less than US$10,000, RIM will pay the developer the difference between the revenue earned and US$10,000.
Developers are only eligible to receive this one time. In the event where the app earns less than US$1,000 or more than US$10,000, the app is not qualified to be part of the program.
Built for BlackBerry
The Built for BlackBerry program will be initiated this September and allow developers to submit their BlackBerry 10 apps for third-party review.
From productivity apps to lifestyle apps to games, developers will be able to submit their BlackBerry 10 WebWorks or BlackBerry 10 Native app to the Built for BlackBerry program, and when cleared through the review, will receive the “Built for BlackBerry” quality status.
The program will be free for now.
