All apps free from one developer for today only!

It isn’t every day that a BlackBerry 10 app developer kindly offers all his apps for free, but that’s what Saper-ek has done. The offer is a one day special so you’ll need to get the apps you want today.

We’ve featured some of the apps on the list today, apps such as Quick Launch, Power Tools and Shortcut Creator.

Evernote for BlackBerry 10 updated in the Beta Zone

Did you get in on the earlier Evernote beta from the BlackBerry Beta Zone? If so, you’ll want to make sure you open up the Beta Zone once again today and great the latest version (5.6.0.393) of Evernote available. Although it doesn’t have any huge changes over the previous version, it does fix a few bugs that were present. We got the full list of changes as well as notes about the current limitations for you if you decide to use the beta vs. the BlackBerry World version.

Apple will offer battery replacements for the Apple Watch

Apple has confirmed that they will offer battery replacements for the Apple Watch.

Apple offers battery replacements for many of their products, including laptops, iPhones and iPads, so it isn’t surprising that Apple would offer battery replacements for Apple Watch. Still, it’s good to have that assurance. What isn’t known, however, is how much a battery replacement will cost. From Techcrunch:

Well, when it comes to the battery at least, owners of Apple Watch will be able to extend its lifespan. An Apple spokesman confirmed to TechCrunch the “battery is replaceable”. Albeit, it’s not clear how much it will cost to send in your wearable to Apple to get it returned with a new cell in place.

We also don’t know what kind of warranty Apple will offer for the watch. For example, the iPhone warranty currently covers replacements for defective batteries for one year. Out of warranty, Apple offers a battery service for $79, with a $6.95 shipping charge.

The Apple Watch is expected to offer around 18 hours of battery life based on average use. We should know more about battery replacement plans following the launch of the Apple Watch next month.

These are Windows Central’s top picks of MWC 2015

Our favorites from Barcelona’s big mobile show

So, Mobile World Congress is done for another year, and that means that before we left we had to pick out our collective favorites from the event. MWC isn’t just about the devices, though, it brings together app developers, accessories, something to cover the whole mobile ecosystem. As such, we’ve been able to pick a good selection of top picks from this year’s event.

So, here’s what made the cut and why we chose it.

Apple Watch confirmed to include 8GB of internal storage, but only 2GB will be available

All Apple Watch models have been confirmed to have 8GB of internal storage, but only 2GB will be available. That said, it’s a watch and tells the time!

The 2GB limitation (2GB for music and just 75MB for photos) is actually generous for a smartwatch. Most consumers store countless GBs worth of music on their iPhones and the new smart wearable is a perfect companion device to control said collections. This would help negate the need to waste iPhone battery through wakening the screen and unlocking the display to access playback controls.

All three smartwatches from Apple, the Sport, Watch and Edition, will feature the same capacity. This extra storage enables iPhone owners to store some media on the Apple Watch so they aren’t required to be lumbered with a larger device, ideal for when out for a jog and such.

The remaining storage will be saved for the operating system and any apps you download and install. We’ll be able to find out more about storage on the Apple Watch when the smartwatches are released in April.
