BlackBerry World

Discovering great apps is easier than ever with app recommendations based on similar purchases. You can choose an app, then quickly share it to social sites with a couple of gestures from within the app. BlackBerry World features a unified storefront for apps, games, themes, music, and videos, and parental controls that let you hide content that you don't want children to access.

NFC and Smart Tags

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that's designed for transferring data quickly. BlackBerry Tag uses NFC technology to exchange files (including pictures, music, contact info, and even webpages) between your BlackBerry device and other NFC-enabled devices simply by tapping the back of your devices together. You can also use NFC on your device to pay for items, and to create and store Smart Tags containing URLs, phone numbers, and more that you can share with others.

For more information, see NFC and Smart Tags.
