Earlier this week it wasreportedthat Netflix has no plan to develop aBlackBerry 10app . While that specific nugget of news show was n’t surprising , we began to wonder what other popular apps may or may not be add up to BB10 .
After all , BlackBerry did say at launch this past January that BlackBerry World had over 70,000 apps for its latest operating system . Not too bad . But really , which of the most obvious and pop apps on Android , iOS , and even Windows Phone might you see on BB10 ? Here ’s the full rundown , straight from the developer ’s mouths .
Yea
BlackBerry get by to secure several notable launching partners , like the impressively - long - than - expected list below . But not all of these are presently available . For instance , Rdio and ooVoo have committed to the program but have n’t actually finished building their respective apps . While they were n’t herald as a launch partner , Kayak has also committed to BlackBerry 10 with a port of its Android app . But hey , there ’s still some sentence before the US launch . Like possibly a week or two .
Nay
As expected , there ’s an even longer listing of company whose official response was fundamentally “ We have nothing to report at this time ” or they were “ keeping an eye on BB10 ” or more simply put , “ ew ” ( no seriously , that was one prominent dev ’s response ) . When asked if and which apps from Google ’s stable might reach BB10 , the company had this to say : “ Our goal is to make our products available to as many people as possible . We ’re always evaluating unlike platforms , but have no elaborated plans to share at this time . ” Or , if you ’re Nike , you ’re sticking to your one trick pony : “ Not at this time – we are working to maximise the experience on iOS . ”
Maybe?
But wait ! There are one or two companies who are opine about possibly , possibly , one day down the route , making an app . Like , Shazam , for case , “ Shazam does not presently have a BB10 app , but may in the time to come . ” Or if you ’re Pandora you could give a long - wreathe response that could be misunderstand as being coy , which could be misinterpreted as something to show between the melodic phrase , or not : “ We do n’t talk about potential next intersection offerings , so I regrettably do n’t have a firm answer as to if or when Pandora would be available on Blackberry 10 phones . ”
For those of you not fluent in app iconese , here ’s the breakdown .
Yea : Dropbox , ESPN Scorecenter , Facebook , Foursquare , Kindle , LinkedIn , The Weather Channel , Twitter , and WhatsApp .
Nay : Instagram , Netflix , Google Maps , Gmail , YouTube , Amazon , Seamless , Yelp , IMDb , Starbucks , Yahoo , Spotify , Flipboard , Nike+ Fuelband , Nike+ Running , Hulu+ , HBO Go , Square , Pocket , ebay , and PayPal .
