Whoa! Thanks for that. I kind of stopped following up on Blackberry several months ago, and I haven't bothered to update my Q10 since then either. This is kind of great news, although it still makes me wonder how easy availability of Android apps will affect native development over the long run. (I'm still not totally convinced that there is a long run for Black
berry's future, but I hope there is... nothing else even comes close for the fluid UI experience.)
