Dear XXX


Some good news from your friends at Handster! Starting December 7, 2011, Handster (a division of Opera Software) will begin submitting your applications to BlackBerry App World. Your apps will then be made available to BlackBerry PlayBook users through the BlackBerry App World storefront in early 2012. This will increase the distribution opportunities for your apps from Handster. For more information on the BlackBerry Runtime for Android Apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook, check out developer.blackberry.com/android.


There is minimal maintenance required from your side. Handster will take care of the verification process on apps, the conversion of APK files to BAR files, apps signing and retesting on BlackBerry PlayBook tablets. All you need to do is resize your application entry icon to 86 x 86 pixels to meet requirements for BlackBerry App World submission and submit us your updated APK file. We will start porting apps as soon as they come in and begin readying them for distribution, so be sure to be one of the first to submit your Android app for conversion.


If you are interested in distribution of your Android apps via Handster and RIM portals, please do let us know. Freeware apps can be updated by our content management team automatically. As for paid apps, please upload them in your Handster developer account or send them to me via email. Our content managers will upload them in your developer account, and save you some time.


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,


Yours sincerely,

Anna Golosovskaya
