The new BlackBerry 10 OS will launch with about 70,000 apps – or 100,000, if you believe what BlackBerry CMO Frank Boulben said in a Q&A at the BlackBerry 10 launch. How does a new OS get to such heights?
Well, about 40 percent of those are Android apps, BlackBerry vice president Martyn Mallick said at another Q&A at the BlackBerry 10 launch. While he didn’t do the following math himself, 40 percent of 70,000 is about 28,000 Android apps running on BlackBerry 10 right now.
