RIM’s rival to Apple’s App Store has moved a step closer to fruition.

The Canadian company has sent a message to all registered BlackBerry developers calling for application submissions for its application storefront.

RIM tells potential developers that a spring launch is on the cards – so there’s a good chance that come opening day, the "shelves" will be well stocked with software.

Below is the full note to developers:
