28,000 Android Apps Available in New BlackBerry 10

The news is buzzing in the market about the latest launch of 70,000 to 100,000 apps in the BlackBerry 10 OS. Must say, it is one of the impressive things ever heard in the mobile industries. Keep reading this blog, as some more interesting news is written below. According to BlackBerry CMO Frank Boulben, there are 40% of the apps will be of Android and approximate 28,000 Android apps running on the latest device, BlackBerry 10. Your face must be smiling and also you are thinking that how it is possible that so many Android apps run on the totally different gesture-based interface?

Here, you will find solution for it. It is not possible to simply load an Android APK into a BlackBerry phone. For that, Android Application Developers have to use the BlackBerry 10 SDK to “enfold” the android coding into a BlackBerry-friendly format. Android idioms are also converted into the BB 10 SDK in order to fit into the BlackBerry’s universe. Now, the question is how to interpret the Android “menu” button and the android “back” button into an up-swipe gesture and a back-swipe gesture respectively.

Although this is a problematic situation, BlackBerry doesn’t want to create smooth running application that looks bizarre with mislaid UI elements by stuffing their new OS with “wrapped” Android apps. Blackberry also offers solution for developers to target on native apps. Additionally, the company also gives priority on the top 100-200 apps that mostly used by the folks. Blackberry also spreading their team to find out what exactly customer want and working accordingly.

For entertainment purpose, Blackberry has also added some of the well-known games like Angry Birds, Jetpack Joyride, etc. and The New York Times and The Economist for giving latest buzz to the users of BlackBerry 10. BlackBerry 10 OS also has some cons like you didn’t find video streaming apps like Netflix and HBO or photophiles, Instagram. But, we hope Blackberry may add such apps for their users.

We are hoping that we may enjoy some more interesting application in future as there is 2 months of time to hit BlackBerry 10 in the retail shelves. BlackBerry gives assurance of “many more apps will appear in BlackBerry World by then”. With this interesting news, Android Application Developers get the great chance to show their talents in BlackBerry 10 OS and delivers the best Custom Android Application Development.
