Snap, a Google Play client for BlackBerry 10

Daniel Morial Leave a comment

If we thought that BlackBerry OS 10 devices are doomed, this is probably the best news we’ve heard from their camp in a long while.


Presenting Snap, a Google Play client for BlackBerry 10 devices running the latest 10.2.1 update which just rolled out. From the UI stand point, it looks like the BlackBerry World but with Google Play apps. That means more apps and more fun for the good ol’ BlackBerry 10.

In order to use Snap, you must first sideload it to your BB10 device. If you haven’t tried sideloading apps into a BlackBerry before, here is a guided step by step procedure from CrackBerry.com

With the latest 2.0 version of Snap, you can download your previous purchases in Google Play to your BlackBerry 10 device. This is finally having Android apps without the need to sideload or convert them separately. If you have tried using this client, please share your comments and experience so far.

BlackBerry has been very silent lately, and they weren’t that aggressive in releasing new products. The BlackBerry Z30 now shatters that silence as it becomes the new flagship phone for the company, offering a 5-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.7GHz CPU, and a very beefy 25-hour 2,880mAh battery.

BlackBerry 10 L-Series leaked

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

Just days after RIM teased the posterior of the upcoming all-touch BlackBerry handset, Vietnamese tech website Tinhte has been kind enough to share some images they took of what seems to be the official BlackBerry 10 L-Series handset.


BB10

Unlike other leaks, the images uploaded by the tech website seemed legit suggesting that these guys had sufficient time with the handset. Here are more pictures which give us better view of the upcoming smartphone.

L-Series

For high-res images you can check out Tinhte’s blog post here. In there you’ll also find their quick hands-on video of the BlackBerry 10 L-Series device which we didn’t include here because it’s in Vietnamese.

The anticipation mounts as we inch closer to the target launch date which is due in January 2013. If what we’re seeing in these images is the real deal, then BlackBerry users will surely be in for a treat as the handset’s design looks as promising as the OS that it comes with. What do you guys think?
