Barcelona, Spain and Manila, The Philippines - Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and Globe Telecom today announced that Globe customers will enjoy the ease and convenience of applying their app purchases on  BlackBerry App World™ to their postpaid or prepaid accounts.

The new billing service will enable Globe Telecom subscribers to purchase apps on BlackBerry App World and charge the transaction directly to their monthly postpaid bill or prepaid account credits. Globe subscribers will also be offered the flexibility of charging in-app purchases to their regular bill or deducted from their prepaid load, which allows digital goods to be purchased without interrupting the app experience. The new service is expected to roll out in the second quarter of 2012.

Today’s announcement with Globe is a first for the Philippines and is testament to both companies’ drive to continuously improve the customer experience.”

There have been complaints that RIM has nothing to show in MWC which kicked off today and I’m here to report that this certainly isn’t the case. As RIM is gearing up for it’s mobile transition, the best way to showcase your future is by showing off your brand new engine (QNX ). Let’s face it, RIM’s marketing hasn’t been the best as of late so here is where RIM can flaunt their new product in style and in confidence. RIM needs to get the word out and show people what the new platform can do. Being in Barcelona, this is a good way to show the future of BlackBerry to an international market so their focus right now needs to be in marketing Os 2.0 as best as possible while the design team is working on the BlackBerry 10 transition. To keep on rolling, RIM has given a preview of Confetti – Document Sharing to Multiple PlayBooks, Sharing and Viewing mode, and more powered by TAT. Your meeting is about to transform. Check below for the video preview.

While at MWC, RIM has this interesting setup at their booth which touches up on the recent, quiet BlackBerry support for DNLA found in the latest OS 7.1 leak. According to reports, RIM isn’t using the DNLA term rather coining their own “Mobile Media Hotspot”. None the less, the future for RIM being able to be compatible with external media devices is not only very cool, but quite useful.
