    How RIM is trying to win the app war - The Globe and Mail
    The article provides good insight into why and why not app developers will be onboard for BB10. The article also alludes to Skype and Netflix possibly not having a BB10 app at launch.

    It's generally a good article, though I'm not quite agreeing that RIM had "disdain for apps".

    There have always been BlackBerry apps, BlackBerry tools and - for years, BlackBerry developer releations. Long before there ever was an 'iPhone"

    "Disdain" is a little strong but somewhat accurate. Jim and Mike thought why do you need apps when you can access everything via your webbrowser. Jim and Mike were a little a head of the times because in the "X" years (I am afraid of putting down a number as someone with a keyboard will disagree) HTML5 will make Apps irrelevent. Just my opinion, we will see if I am right in X years. LOL

    Didn't RIM say that 9 out of the top 10 were there? I assume that both Skype and Netflix are both top 10 which would mean that we would have at least one of them if not both.

    Not really a disdain for apps as much as the apps were all "locally" made.

    Pretty insane that they didn't have local presence in the US from a dev relations perspective be for Alec started.
