Facebook, Skype, Twitter arrive in BlackBerry World: here are the essential apps

We’ve already heard about the BlackBerry World launching with 70,000 apps but now we not only have the official confirmation for that, but also more details on the essential apps that you’d have right at launch.

Big names like Skype, Kindle, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp have all developed native BlackBerry 10 applications and that really is good news.

What’s even better is the fact that some of the biggest game studios have also jumped on the BlackBerry 10 bandwaggon bringing titles like Asphalt 7, Angry Birds Star Wars, Dead Space, Jetpack Joyride, Fruit Ninja and Where’s My Water/Perry at the app catalog on day one.

BlackBerry has showed off the essential apps for each of six categories - games, multimedia, publishing, music, social and of course business. And all the essential apps are right below in the slideshow, take a look.
