BlackBerry Pushes Priv Stock Apps On Google Play Ahead Of Launch

With pre-orders live, Blackberry has published several Priv stock apps on Google Play. The apps currently available on Google Play include BlackBerry Launcher, Blackberry Keyboard, MicrosoftexFAT for BlackBerry, Blackberry Services, BlackBerry Password Keeper, BlackBerry Camera, and DTEK by BlackBerry. None of these are actually installable yet, as the Priv isn't yet available. 


BlackBerry Launcher

The BlackBerry Launcher application enables you to:
  • Easily turn multistep tasks such as sending an email or calling a friend into a one-click task.
  • Find, sort and place applications, widgets and shortcuts across home screen panels for convenient access.
  • Widgets are a great way to get information quickly, but can take up a lot of space on your home screen. BlackBerry® Pop-Up Widgets allow you to view any application widget by simply swiping up or down across the icon on your home screen, giving you fast access to the information you need, when you need it.
  • Use keyboard shortcuts to launch applications or tasks, such as tapping ‘B’ to launch your Browser.
  • Customize the look and feel of your device using icon packs, and more...

BlackBerry Keyboard


The PRIV by BlackBerry® gives you the freedom to choose between a virtual touch screen keyboard or a physical keyboard for speed and accuracy.

Snap the slider open to dismiss the touch screen keyboard and free up valuable screen space. A full physical keyboard is revealed that also doubles as a touch sensitive track pad for scrolling and fine cursor control. You can even map the physical keys to shortcuts that launch device features.

The BlackBerry Keyboard includes a number of components that work together to deliver an optimal user input experience:
  • A reinvented physical keyboard that optimizes accuracy, ergonomic comfort and precise control.
  • A market disrupting touch sensitive keyboard to help you get things done fast.
  • A complementary set of on-screen virtual keyboards for touch interaction and fast access to the most critical text elements 
  • An intelligent input engine that allows the keyboard to learn and remember words you type often and then offer them as next-word suggestions.
  • A set of software capabilities that allows shortcuts to user-defined words and phrases, and more…
Key Features
  • Quick and easy creation of text with the renowned BlackBerry Keyboard, featuring auto correction, next word prediction and a Personal Dictionary.
  • More efficiency through learning and personalization. The keyboard gets more accurate over time as it learns your style and word selection.
