The most of the BlackBerry-Limited apps on OS10 can updated via the BlackBerry world.
While the Hub is backed in the OS there is no way to update via BBW.
On Android it's only an app.

They never updated the browser through BBW.. while in this case they can push updates very quickly for all their apps including the launcher which is the UI of the OS.
I've not had good experiences with travel. I'd land, take it out of airplane mode, and get notifications I should hopefully gotten half hour before takeoff.
I'm not sure if this was a conscious decision (to put all these apps on the Play store) or not, but either way, it's great to know that BlackBerry will continue to further develop these apps, and then roll out updates whenever they want. I'm going to give this phone a couple of weeks on the market, to make sure all is well, and then, consider me Android
Further updates. Hub especially has received a lot of work, it would seem
For Hub:
WHAT'S NEW
Customizable swipe gestures
Mute conversations
Next/previous swipe navigation
Image attachment preview in email viewer
Improved conversation UI
Improvements to initial email sync
Level 1 notifications
Performance and stability improvements
Am I the only one feeling BlackBerry are still busy hammering out the software on launch day when it should have been done weeks if not months ago? Reminded me of PB and Z10 launch but I seriously hope it will turn out much better as we need a home run to keep their hardware division.

They gonna keep hammering out software well past launch day. Seeing that those apps are in Google play. That's part of their constant update strategy

I think it is simply a hugely complex event with all sorts of pieces coming together. Even Apple had some fiascos with their software launches etc. When I sense some of the changes that are occurring as we speak as the Priv gets launched, I'm actually in awe

So now updates are a bad thing? Wouldn't you put last minute touches on your product if you could?
If they are going for offer the Hub to other Android phones, they should bake BBM into it to help grow the BBM base.

It could happen. But I'm not sure if it will really have that much of an impact on BBM user base. I would actually presume that close to 100% of future Hub subscribers will already be BBM subscribers.
