Research In Motion Ltd., aiming to make its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet more competitive against Apple Inc.’s iPad, said there are now about 10,000 applications available for the device and more are coming.
The introduction last week of PlayBook OS 2.0 software for the tablet should spur more development as it allows the conversion of applications built for Google Inc.’s Android platform so they can be used on the device, Martyn Mallick, RIM vice president for global alliances, said at a press briefing today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
