App Android su smartphone BlackBerry grazie all’Amazon App-Shop
Gli utenti BlackBerry saranno felici nel leggere questa news poichè sarà per loro molto più semplice ed immediato usufruire dell’ampio panorama di app che il mondo Android possiede. L’utilizzo di applicazioni sviluppate per il robottino verde ma funzionanti su dispositivi BB non è certo una novità poichè questo era già possibile da tempo ma attraverso il caricamento manuale via computer, una procedura non molto comoda e conosciuta da tutti.
Da oggi, grazie all’accordo tra Amazon e BlackBerry, sarà possibile scaricare in tutta libertà le app Android presenti sull’Amazon App-Shop anche sui dispositivi dell’azienda canadese. Questo può essere visto come un vantaggio da entrambe le parti, infatti, se da un lato gli utenti BlackBerry 10 avranno un più ampio raggio di app a loro disposizione, dall’altro lato Amazon vedrà un maggior numero di download dal proprio store, maggior utilizzo dei Coins e una maggior attenzione da parte degli sviluppatori.
Di seguito vi riportiamo il comunicato stampa ufficiale:
Waterloo, ON – BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX: BB), a world leader in mobile communications, today announced that the Amazon Appstore will be available with the launch of the BlackBerry 10.3 operating system this fall, greatly expanding access to thousands of the most popular apps and games to BlackBerry customers.
With more than 240,000 Android applications in the Amazon Appstore worldwide, BlackBerry 10 device customers will gain access to popular apps such as Groupon, Netflix, Pinterest, Candy Crush Saga and Minecraft.
The strategic move also enables BlackBerry to align its developer program with its renewed focus on delivering the most secure, end-to-end mobile enterprise solutions, by placing more emphasis on the development of vital enterprise and productivity applications.
“Making the Amazon Appstore available on BlackBerry 10 devices will help BlackBerry continue to meet two essential needs: greater app availability for our smartphone users and enhanced productivity solutions for enterprises,” said BlackBerry Executive Chairman and CEO John Chen. “We’ve listened to our customers and have taken this important step to deliver on their needs, while executing on our strategy.”
BlackBerry and Amazon will be working with the BlackBerry application developer community to help them migrate their apps to the Amazon Appstore in preparation for the 10.3 launch, where they will benefit from the store’s powerful promotional tools that enable maximum discoverability and profitability. This will include Appstore Developer Select, which provides enhanced merchandising, as well as Amazon Coins incentives, the Developer Promotions Console, which enables real-time pricing adjustments and specials, and the popular Free App of the Day program.
BlackBerry will unveil a new enterprise application partner program for corporate developers, ISVs and systems integrators, designed to expand the number of enterprise applications that leverage BlackBerry 10 to deliver business-class functionality and enhance users’ productivity, communication and collaboration.
