So now that the App Gap is gone, whats the next complaint?
- So now that the app gap is close here is the next complaint:
I am running 10.2.1. I have noticed it is a bit slow and has a few bugs/ debugging software running.
My z10 now feels like an Android device. I can't wait to get the official software

Pretty big upgrade from 10.2.0missing_K-W likes this.11-25-13 12:10 PMLike 1 - 11-25-13 12:39 PMLike 1
- We now have more apps supported onBB10 than the Android platform!
We have BB10 native apps. Android native apps etc. This is massively huge.
BB10 users are now the second largest app platform come the official launch of 10.2.1. Just massive for the platform.
Can't wait till the media picks this up!

- From Alec Saunders,
You'll have the ability to download APK's from any source and install them on BlackBerry 10 when we launch 10.2.1. We recommend you choose trusted sources given the well documented issues with malware on Android. BlackBerry World will not contain APK's however. BlackBerry World will remain the trusted curated source for applications vetted by us. Android applications found there will have to be signed and repackaged by the developer, and tested and vetted by us before they can be released via BlackBerry World.
See Upping our game for Android support: Easily bring your Android app to BlackBerry World «BlackBerry Developer Blog for more details.
Hope that's clear enough.

See post 3611-25-13 02:44 PMLike 0 - That will only matter if it closes the consumer gap.
No guarantee that the method used to close the app gap will resolve that as the delivery mechanism is unorthadox in the mobile OS war.11-25-13 02:56 PMLike 5 - From Alec Saunders,

Furthermore, I still maintain that apps that Don't work fully , such as no push notifications, bloated screen, closing g on splash screen, lack of full features are not a solution to the app gap.. honestly why would anyone settle for this!!!!!!! How can anyone settle for the lowest standard as long as it works 'well enough'
There's go.nna ( the typical name the app that doesn't work, and ur a troll posts in response to this, as if I've just made this all up.

Not at all. Unfortunately. This won't close the market gap. The biggest advantage of BB10 has been the os, and if this, almost a year later, hasn't put a dent on the market, repackaging android apps onto a year old phone likely won't turn things around -- even if the belief was that the reason for lack of sales was apps to being with. There needs to be more rewards for the consumers. Updated and new devices sold at a cheaper price, for example.
Posted via CB10amjass12 likes this.11-25-13 03:32 PMLike 1 - What is a trusted source? And how does the consumer know about it. Will it be preloaded on the next update and an alternative app world app? Or are they gonna leve it to the trusty crack berry members to spread the good word to the consumer that doesn't even know this site exists??...

With mobile computing there comes more choice. More flexibility for one to go about their mobile experience without the confines of a walled garden.
I am pro, " more options more choice"
Users will have to use the same discretion as using an Android device that doesn't support Google Play

On the other hand, it seemingly makes a strong, tinkering subset of current users happy, and in that alone, it is a win. Keeping current customers happy is always a challenge, and I think the expanded runtime might accomplish that.11-25-13 03:37 PMLike 5 - Just as with everything in life one must use their own discretion. One must discern on a pc for example. One will have to do the same with their mobile experience.

It'd either there... or don't bother. The attitude u have is precisely why blackberry are I. The state they r in. They have a similar attitude.
Posted via CB1011-25-13 03:45 PMLike 3 - Pete The PenguinResident CrackBerry WizardWell BB10 has had porting ability of Android apps before and it hasn't helped much and the quality of what has shown up is lacking IMHO. Also will BlackBerry be allowing APK directly in App World? Broad statements and assumptions being made all over the forum when no one knows if this is the solution for sure.

The problem with hacks like this is that they are built on platform idiosyncrasies and have no resilience to future change. So at best they have a maintenance headache and at worst the house of cards comes tumbling down.
Why invest in the BB ecosystem on the hope it'll run android apps for the foreseeable future?

The current BB10 android runtime is within user protected space. So realistically we can swap in the ART at any point.
