CIO — CTIA Wireless Spring 2009 is underway this week in Las Vegas, where BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion stole the show Wednesday with its BlackBerry App World mobile software store announcement.

Mike Lazaridis, RIM's co-CEO, started CTIA off with a bang when he detailed App World in his opening keynote address. Lazaridis also talked up a number of RIM's latest products and services, the majority of which went on display on the CTIA show floor immediately after the BlackBerry bigwig's speech.

The company has an impressive array of wares to show off, including a new, first-of-its-kind subscription-based application that will enable BlackBerry owners to download and view full-length television shows on their handhelds: PrimeTime2Go.

The booth is packed with enough BlackBerry goodness to keep even the most desperate of CrackBerry addicts satisfied for hours. But don't take my word for it. Join me on this virtual tour of RIM's CTIA BlackBerry booth and see for yourself.

Just before the CTIA Wireless Spring 2009 show floor opened to conference attendees, RIM Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis officially announced BlackBerry App World during his opening keynote on Wednesday, April 1, 2009.
