"Apple five years out of date" says BlackBerry boss The point is that you can never stand still. It is true for us as well. Launching BB10 just put us on the starting grid of the wider mobile computing grand prix, and now we need to win it," Mr Heins said. Although he declined to give details, Mr Heins said BlackBerry was making progress persuading more app developers to use its platform, which has 70,000 native apps at launch and can also run some Google apps. Google and Apple, however, now have so many apps they have largely stopped emphasising their number, which is thought to be around 800,000 each. Apple has also been accused of feeling vulnerable by launching an unusual attack on Samsung prior to the launch of the S4 handset last week. Mr Heins reiterated his own attach on Android, claiming it was less secure. Our devices are great for the consumer use, while being just as good as the old BlackBerrys for corporate use. If you have an open OS then it is open, you have a ton of keys out there to your main entrance door, government and financial services firms understand that.
