BlackBerry has confirmed two more top billing apps will be coming to BlackBerry 10 this week. This includes Amazon’s shopping app which is nice to see. My guess is that will be a port of their popular Android app. Also launching is the Wall Street Journal app but we have no word on what form that will take.
It seems like BlackBerry is having some luck with their two step onboarding process to BlackBerry 10. First getting companies on board with the Android ports and they convincing them to go native to compete once they see demand. Its an interesting approach to the chicken and egg problem of new platforms. Let us know what you think!

I think it’s a good approach; sort of like test driving an app before you buy it.

All I can say is BB did what it had to and it’s starting to pa off.
Certainly a better strategy than Microsoft!
