The Record Article: Standing Out Is the Challenge for App Developers
The KW Record, hometown of RIM and our very own Tom Emrich, featured App Promo after meeting with us at BlackBerry DevCon Americas where we were sponsors and speakers.

“SAN FRANCISCO – It should come as no surprise that there is a healthy dose of Canadian content among the companies displaying their wares at Research In Motion’s huge developer conference here.
After all, RIM is based in Waterloo and does a lot of its business in Canada.
Of the dozen or so companies with display booths in the conference’s Mobility Pavilion, three are from the Toronto area – Polar Mobile, the New Toronto Group and App-Promo.
Helping mobile apps developers market their creations on the BlackBerry, iPhone and Android smartphones is the job of App-Promo.”
