RIM BlackBerry is looking to hit and surpass the 100,000 apps mark by the end of this month. According to the company’s CMO, Frank Boulben, BlackBerry 10 was launched “with the highest number of apps,” namely 70,000 titles, and adding an additional 30,000 apps shouldn’t be a problem. Sure enough, many of these are Android ports, but they work like “true” native apps.
Boulben added that there is significant interest from developers, with the series of BlackBerry Jam events around the world driving “increased momentum in the developer community”. One such event is coming to my town (Belgrade) and since I plan to attend it, you’ll be able to learn what’s going on in the BlackBerry community…
Anyway, if you want to know more about BlackBerry’s plans, you can watch the full interview with Frank Boulben from Mobile World Live’s website. Here’s the link.
