BlackBerry Z10, the new touch screen smartphone, released earlier this year and people are still sceptical of the device. A possible cause of this scepticism: the app support, something which Windows Phone 7 & 8 suffered from and still does in some sense.
With lagging sales in Europe, retailers slashed the price of the device to attract more customers. Carphone Warehouse, for example, cut prices by around £160, while Vodaphone cut £70, both a savings over the life of the contract.
The reason some are hesitant to consider the Z10 as an option is the fact a mere 70,000 apps were available in the BlackBerry World store at launch. When you compare this to 775,000 in the Apple App Store and 700,000 in the Google Play store, you can see why customers are sceptical.
Well it appears BlackBerry have been busy stocking the BlackBerry World store's familiar shelves with new apps.
BlackBerry’s new CEO Thorsten Heins, in an interview with the Australian World Financial Review, said that the BlackBerry World app count will likely surpass 100,000. Reports have come out to suggest that this now is the case.
This is good news for BlackBerry fans, but it still remains to be seen if the apps to be offered will be of a good quality. You can quickly pump out app after app, but are they really worth paying for? We personally would prefer quality over quantity.
