It seems there's a new place to download your Android apps if you are running BlackBerry OS 10.2.1 and that's apktrain.com. We've featured the likes of Snap and the Amazon Appstore a bunch of times but there's a big difference between those and APK Train.
The beauty with APK Train is that the whole process is done from the web browser on your BlackBerry 10 smartphone. Unlike Snap or the other stores we have looked at, there's no need to sideload an app - something that will certainly please many BlackBerry 10 users that are not very technical, or newbies to the OS.
As you can see from the above video - you just hit up apktrain.com from your BlackBerry 10 browser and press the green download tab for the apps and games you want. It simply doesn't get easier than that and getting an Android app installed onto your BlackBerry can take as little as 30 seconds or so.
What more could you ask for? Another step in the right direction for BlackBerry 10. Enjoy.

Grab a bargain from ALDI in the UK with their Android app
Another Android app which may well be of interest to UK consumers is from the supermarket chain ALDI. Whilst we don't all have a local store, their market presence is certainly growing and they sure have some attractive prices. The beauty with the app is that every week ALDI have what they call 'Special Buy's and the app will detail all the products that have been discounted. Select...
