They are moving towards going to the Android route for Apps.
Here are the apps on my Q: netflix, Pandora, Slacker, I heart radio, Tunein Radio, Kindle, NYT, WSJ, Washington Post, FB, Igrann (Instgram client), Twitter, Parrot (voice recorder), Google maps, weather app, Drudge, Skyscanner, Flixster, NFL Mobile, Pac Man, Evernote, Amazon Appstore, CIA World Factbook, Sayit, Skype, Whatsapp, and a call recorder app.
Could get Linkedin, 4square, Pininterest and some others are available on the Amazon Appstore or BB site but don't want them. Those are pretty much all the apps I need.
Does it sound like my Q10 is hurting for apps?

Those apps do me little good. What about Casemaker? Fastcase? Other legal apps? Why do they matter, you might ask? Because I need them, and when local or regional companies start building their own apps, they choose Apple, Android, or both. Not BlackBerry.

Did you side-load these apps as Android apps or were they native BB10 apps from BlackBerry World? Also how do these run on the Q10 with its non-standard 1:1 screen? If they run well without any issues on the Q10, I imagine they'd run well on the Passport too. The 1440 X 1440 screen should only help.
My only problem with the Amazon AppStore is that even it doesn't have standard Google apps like Gmail, YouTube, Google+, and Google Hangouts (a big omission) due to Google restricting these apps only to approved Android devices. I hope with the launch of the Fire phone, Amazon and Google work something out to get these apps into the Amazon AppStore, so that BlackBerry can also take advantage of it eventually.
