At BlackBerry Live 2013, CEO Thorsten Heins announced that BlackBerry World was hosting 120,000 apps. Highlighted in the slides were new and upcoming titles like Modern Combat 4, Moog, Soundhound, and iHeartRadio, as well as some existing ones like Bloomberg and Blaq. 

The high-demand apps are flocking to BlackBerry 10 - most recently, Skype to the Z10 by way of the recent 10.1 update, but there are plenty more that we're going to be checking out in the showcase here at the show. 

This is it! Tune into our Live Blog coverage of the BlackBerry Live 2013 Keynote right here. Comments will be automatically approved before and after the keynote, but will go into a moderation queue while the action heats up (only really good, on point comments will be published). Enjoy the show!

Just a quick reminder before we shut down for the night that we'll be hitting it hard tomorrow starting with the general session keynote at 9am EDT.

The keynote will kick off BlackBerry Live with BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins, CMO Frank Boulben and COO Kristian Tear taking the stage along with some "special guests" to talk BlackBerry 10, the future of mobile computing and more. 

We'll be manning the press seats and bringing you the play-by-play, so don't miss out. After the keynote is over things won't slow down either. We'll bring you all our thoughts on whatever announcements there may be and we'll also keep things going as Alec Saunders leads off for the BlackBerry Jam keynote at 1:00pm EDT.

The CrackBerry crew just wrapped up their first day at BlackBerry Live 2013, and even though things don't get officially started until tomorrow, there was still plenty to do. I didn't get in until the late afternoon thanks to a missed connection on Sunday resulting in an impromptu roadtrip from Tampa to Orlando with some nice guys from BlackBerry and BitHeads, but from what the guys tell me, the morning had plenty of attendees coming in and getting ready for a busy week.

By the time I got to the World Center, CrackBerry's show floor presence was already well-established.  We had tables set up across from registration with all of the power and fat internet pipes we would need for our dozen team members at the show. TVs, a backdrop, and stage were already set up, and before long our buddy John Pozadzides showed up with an arsenal of video equipment.

As you may have heard, Alicia Keys and a batch of other artists will be rocking BlackBerry Live 2013 attendees from Universal Studios tomorrow night. Just because you're not here doesn't mean you should miss out on the fun, though. BlackBerry's Creative Director will be on stage from 7:00 PM EST onwards as a part of her Keep Moving campaign. Her Keysness will be joined byMiguel, Alabama Shakes, Maria Gadú, and Cedric Gervais. Tune in here!

There's also going to be a livestream of the general session tomorrow morning at 9 AM EST, which you'll be able to catch here.
