Locally Developed Applications available for BlackBerry 10 OS
At BlackBerry Launch Press Event in Singapore yesterday, 2 local developers had the chance to showcase their applications which is currently available on BlackBerry World (BlackBerry’s Application Store). We are seeing more localized applications built for BlackBerry 10 OS as more developers hop into the BlackBerry Developer Community in Singapore. With the great support from the Developer Relations Team, the applications shown were really impressive because of their high responsiveness probably due to the platform itself.
