BlackBerry assured that it will continue offering music and video services through third party apps. BlackBerry also said that users who have downloaded content from those two sections will have the content available after the July 21 deadline.
“While BlackBerry World will continue to offer music and video services via third party applications — again giving you more choices for your valued content — we will be closing the music and video sections of our store on July 21st,” said BlackBerry.
