<h1 style="text-align: center;">android apps on blackberry 10.x devices</h1>
<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] The Blackberry Passport ships with a good number( approx. 20) of core apps (BBM(messaging), Browser, DocsToGo, Link(Backup), Travel, Maps, Weather, Alarm Clock, Voice Assistant, ...) just like any other mobile os.</li>
<li>] There ARE approx. 240K apps(currently) in Blackberry World.</li>
<li>] PLUS all BB 10.x devices run android apps.</li>
<li>] The Passport has the amazon app store pre - installed, users can install any apps from the amazon app store as easily as they can install native BB apps from BB world</li>
<li>] Amazon claims approx. 230K apps(currently) in their store.</li>
<li>] It runs android apps. There are third party clients(SNAP) to access other android stores like(Google Play, mobile9) and download from their catalogs of android apps.</li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;YOU can control which permissions that you want to grant each app, its not the "take it or leave it" non option that you currently have on android.</li>
<li>] The BB 10 os scans android apps for malware before they are allowed to be installed on your BB device.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Android apps also run in their own sandbox, they dont have access to your entire device.</li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY NOT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] Android apps that are dependant upon "Google Play services" MAY have issues.&nbsp;</li>
<ol>
<li>] There are relatively simple "hacks" that you can use to run those apps, but they wont be for the mainstream user.</li>
