BlackBerry 10 users will soon be able to to install Skype and WhatsApp on their devices. They are arriving just in time for the launch of the BlackBerry Q10, the first device with BlackBerry 10 OS and a physical keyboard. This also coincides with the release of the BlackBerry 10.1 update.
Although the BlackBerry 10 mobile operating system arrived with some big hitting apps like Angry Birds, these two important communication apps were glaring omissions. BlackBerry is promising more big name apps will arrive on BB 10 soon. At the moment, the BlackBerry 10 Skype app is a beta version, while WhatsApp is a stable release.
It is great news that Skype and WhatsApp have come to BlackBerry 10, but will it be enough in the war against Android, iOS and Windows Phone?
