Blackberry Extending Their Music Apps with Shazam and 7Digital

On the Blackberry App World, UK-based 7digital is prepping an over-the-air download store for delivery in September, according to several reports.  First-run countries include the UK, US, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, and downloads will be delivered as one-off, a-la-carte songs. Blackberry owner RIM believes that music is a big part of the mobile experience and they really want to be at the forefront.

Additionally, Shazam has sorted out their Blackberry Storm application. The Shazam update applies to the UK and North America, and unlike the iPhone, it includes a tiered pricing model – free for a limited version, $4.99 or 5 pounds for a more comprehensive edition.
