BlackBerry Apps

The company formerly known as RIM launched its new BlackBerry 10 platform for mobile devices today with an impressive list of applications.

BlackBerry (RIM’s new name) said it has over 70,000 apps for the platform (although most of those might have been available already), including a ton that are already available on rival platforms. This is essential because BlackBerry devices have undoubtedly declined in popularity among consumers.

BlackBerry also touted BB10 support for mobile games from companies such as EA, Disney, Rovio, Sega, and Gameloft.
