I just hope Sailfish's implementation is better, or at the very least that it's comparable to BBX's...
If it's worse, then they've wasted a lot of time/resources/energy when they could've taken a different tack.
I think the BB CEO came out and said it.
Didn't give exact percentages but said something "roughly".

In any case, lets understate and say 70% are ports (Native, Qt, or otherwise) and 30% are Android Apps.

That's still a great figure. Especially when you factor in it surpasses 100,000. In fact, its phenomenal for a new start-up ecosystem.

Compared to WP8 which has about 150,000 all native apps, and more "top tier" Apps. But that took MS about 2 years to obtain.

The way I look at it as a point system:

Windows 7 - 90/100 (many AAA and indie "Apps" and Games, not touch friendly)
iOS - 60/100 (many AAA and some indie Apps, very polished)
Android - 45/100 (some AAA and many indie Apps, not quite polished)
PS3/Xbox - 40/100 (many AAA and few indie Apps/Games, very polished)
WP8 - 25/100 (few AAA and some indie Apps, quite polished)
Blackberry - 15/100 (few AAA and few indie Apps, not quite polished)
