    BB10 is the only mobile os where we have native apps and ports. while the OS is very good, it just shows that BB was desperate to get apps (and they failed). As Microsoft with WP8 shows, you need to have deep pockets to get devs on board.
    Its not just deep pocket which certainly is a factor.

    Windows 8 has a whole ecosystem and BB10 doesn't . BB10 only has phones, not many services that arent enterprise and a half a*sed bring to an unsupported tablet.

    Companies see microsoft as long term and bb10 short term (bankruptcy in their eyes)

    Maybe its hard to develop natively in bb10. How many apps are headless or in the HUB? Blackberry can't even make one of their apps full featured.

    Devs see that the people that actually really want an app will just go to an android store and pick up the apk so why waste their time developing an app for thr smallest audience out of the 4 platforms.

    Microsoft actually treats their devs very nicely.

    Microspft has a lot of app templates for wp8. Bb10 doesn't. Which cuts a lot of time with the UI work.

    I can keep on going. Developing on BB10 is all cons unless you love the OS itself.

    Sailfish OS on the Jolla phone can use ports and the Nokia X can duel boot android and wp8, so blackberry is losing that advantage.

    That's why there are 2 choices for BB!0 users:

    Don't like android apps = you don't have to use them.
    Want android apps = you can use them!

    OH NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I've got the 2014 CRV but I wouldn't get leather seats at all. As far as the turbo engine, I'd kill myself on the first ice storm!!!!

    Did drive a Porsche way back in the 90s. Got it used, could have never bought it otherwise. First and only sports car I've ever driven and will ever drive. I realised I could kill muyself very easily. I've become sensible since then.
    Loool, I bet a porsche suits u fine!!!!
