With sharing further the big numbers, according to company’s VP of Developer Relations, Alec Saunders, the company saw more than 15,000 apps submitted with 19,000 submitted over the last weekend.
“The response and interaction from developers has been nothing short of amazing,” Saunders says, writing on the BlackBerry Developer blog. “This continues to show an overwhelming level of commitment from developers to the BlackBerry 10 platform…The fact is, the volume of apps being submitted for review and entry into the program has been remarkable. Due to that large volume of apps, we are extending the deadline.”
