Research in Motion is offering $100 in free apps for its BlackBerry customers as expression of appreciation for its customers' patience during a recent service outage.
The free apps include games - such as Sims 3, Bejeweled and Texas Hold'em Poker 2 - and voice recognition apps like iSpeech Translator Pro and Vlingo Plus.
RIM's business customers will also get a month of free tech support.
The outage lasted three days in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. It lasted a day and a half in Latin America and Canada, and a day in the United States.
