In this mobile-driven day and age having a
lot of apps is a crucial requirement for a
mobile OS to succeed. RIM BlackBerry
realized this and made sure BlackBerry 10
comes to the market with a well-stocked
app store. There are currently north of
70,000 apps in the BlackBerry World
store, which is more than any platform
has had at launch.
Let’s take a look at some of the major
names that are available for the newly
launched platform.
BlackBerry 10 is strong on the social side
and offers Facebook, Foursquare,
Whatsapp and LinkedIn. Cloud storage is
covered by Dropbox and Box, while on
the Business side companies like SAP,
Cisco and HP offer corporate users some
cool tools like WebEx and HP e-Print.
On the games front BlackBerry has signed
with Rovio, Disney, EA Games, Gameloft
and many more to offer some of their
best titles. Some of them include Angry
Birds Star Wars HD, Where’s My Water,
Where’s My Perry, DeadSpace, Fruit Ninja,
Plants vs Zombies, Shark Dash. In fact,
Angry Birds Star Wars is going to be free
for the first million and a quarter BB10
users as a thank you note.
Accuweather, Rdio, NYTimes, Amazon
Kindle, Cosmopolitan, ESPN and Skype are
also part of the long list of apps ready for
users to download from the BlackBerry
World.
This is quite the achievement for
BlackBerry as no other mobile ecosystem
has ever had this many apps at its launch,
and the company’s CEO was rightly quite
proud of this. Let’s hope that BlackBerry
can keep the momentum of the BB10 and
continue adding a lot more apps in the
future.
