    Its funny how twitter links on CB or other sites open as a web page in lieu of opening in app. But now I notice a link 'open in app' on top of the browser page. But when you click it, it forces an itunes link... puzzled...

    That's because you're opening it from BB10's own browser, which is identified as Safari by websites, because BB10's browser identifies itself as Safari, because it uses an open-source instance of Safari. There's a whole technical story behind it which I'm not going to type out, but that's why Twitter wants to open Apple's app store.

    Agreed, and what's even worse is that it probably won't ever work like you'd expect on BB10. But on the Priv however..
