While BlackBerry has had different degrees of luck in getting carriers to support its new line-up of BlackBerry 10 smartphones, it will be getting support from all three carriers in the Philippines. Globe Telecom, Smart Communications and Sun Cellular will all be carrying the BlackBerry Z10. The BlackBerry Z10 will also be available from retail stores for Php29,990.

The BlackBerry Z10 is a touchscreen phone which runs BlackBerrys new operating system. The Z10  has a 4.2-inch HD (768 x 1280) display. The phone is powered by a dual core Qualcomm Krait processor and is equipped with 2 GB of RAM. The Z10 comes with 16 GB of internal storage expandable via a MicroSD card. The phone comes with 8MP primary camera and a 2 MP front camera. Rounding out the package is a system-on-chip LTE radio.

Google had named its ten best apps of the year. You will find the list at this link (will take you to Google Play). There is one app I think should be on the list, Tasks by Team Tasks. 

Ironically, Android does not have a native app for its tasks list which is part of Google Calendar. I use tasks a lot, and when I got an Android the first thing I tried to do was find a great tasks app, which synced with Google Tasks. After over a year of jumping from one app to another, most of which I found too busy, I found Tasks by Team Tasks. It is a well designed app that does not overcomplicate the function of maintaining a task lists and really feels like a native Android app.  It brings 100% of the functionality of Google Tasks to your phone with a a nice Holo themed user interface. It even has a option for a tablet optimized interface. I think Google should have placed this on their best ten apps list.

Anyway, give it a look yourself. Tasks by Team Task has a ten day demo, and the full version costs just a bit more than a dollar. Task users have give this app a 4.7 out of 5 rating.
