One of the key goals of       BlackBerry 10 's new mobile OS is to persuade as many outside developers as possible to develop applications for BlackBerry 10. But the BlackBerry executives also realised that not all developers would provide an original app for the BlackBerry 10, and so promised to give the developers more convenience, one of which would allow them to transplant their existing Android apps into BlackBerry 10.      In this way, these apps from Android can run smoothly among BlackBerry hardware devices such as Z10. According to the plan, at&t, the US mobile operator, will officially sell Z10 products this week. In an interview in Tuesday, Malik disclosed that about 20% of the BlackBerry 10 's 100,000 applications were actually Android apps.      Malik said: "In order to allow developers to successfully join the BlackBerry 10 platform, we provide them with fast access."

While other developers are still focused on Android apps, they are starting to take advantage of some of the BlackBerry's 10 specific features, such as the BlackBerry Center, in the application transplant process.      Malik points out that Amazon has added features to the BlackBerry 10 platform after it has ported its Android Kindle app to the BlackBerry platform. Ebay has also added support for push notifications after porting its Android apps to BlackBerry 10.

The company has pledged to grant a 10,000-dollar guarantee to developers who are unable to profit from the BlackBerry 10 platform. BlackBerry also said that in order to ensure that the BlackBerry device does not appear "fragmentation", in the BlackBerry 10 of the first equipment (the next 12 months plan to launch 6 models), will use only one or two specifications of the display.      Malik said: "Overall, we are quite satisfied with the current performance of the BlackBerry 10 platform." We firmly believe that more partners will join the BlackBerry 10 platform in the future.      Previous media reports said the market was not responding to the at&t sale of Z10 equipment. Malik said he was not worried about the phenomenon. When another two US mobile operators T and Verizon Wireless also sell Z10, the situation will be vastly different.
