Application developers continue to choose BlackBerry 10 as a target platform, and apps from Cisco, Foursquare, Sencha, Gameloft, Halfbrick Studios, Madfinger Games and Funkoi were revealed at the event to demonstrate apps that are feature rich and integrated with core functions of BlackBerry 10. “The response to BlackBerry 10 on all levels has been incredible, and developers have certainly embraced this new platform and are taking early advantage of the tools and support we are providing to them. Our community is telling us about apps from every category that look and feel just amazing,” said Alec Saunders, vice president, developer relations and ecosystems at Research In Motion. “With our new SDK build now available, applications can really take advantage of our integration and sharing features.
