RIM shows off brief glimpse of BlackBerry 10 in video
BlackBerry 10 is the star of a short video that RIM has released to tease its new operating system. Never mind the hardware which is merely the Alpha Developer's phone that the Canadian manufacturer is handing out to developers today at BlackBerry Jam. Your main focus should be on the software and while the video is only 47 seconds, we get a good luck at the virtual QWERTY keyboard for the OS and the word prediction caabilities of the keyboard are displayed.

The video also shows off something near and dear to the heart of every 'Berry user, the email in-box. We also get a very brief (don't blink) look at video streaming on the video. Obviously this is just a little taste just to get those interested in the new OS hungry for more.

What did you think about the first look at BlackBerry 10? It might require more evidence to form a realistic opinion, but is RIM on the right path here? And remember, don't judge the hardware as it is not what RIM will be releasing to consumers later this year; it is being used just to get the software into the hands of developers so that  apps can be written before the release of the first BlackBerry 10 handset.

Look promising, Have to try this when available.

That keyboard is amazing. Putting the autosuggest right on the keyboard keeps your fingers where they need to be. I like it. And having the partitions between each row looks to keep the same feel as a physical berry. Partially anyway.

Looking very good, I must admit. I would love to see what else RIM has planned for BB10.

I'm so looking forward to this new QNX from BlackBerry, on my PlayBook it's awesomely smooth and saw some demos of Cascades and it look very promising. The alpha device for developer currently support 4.2' and have 1280x768 HDscreen! wonder how's the slider/keyboard one is like
GO RIM GO

Tough to say? This is a good start, but we weren't shown the home screen or how the phone actually functions.

15. KingKurogiii posted on 01 May 2012, 13:31

mmmm...we'll see, we'll see.

A recovery on RIM part would be nothing short of miraculous. However remember sprint in 2007. We all were certain it was going down in flames. Now sprint is a main competitor. With similar drastic management changes and a solid product on the horizon I see great things for RIM.

I disagree. Many of Apple and Android users were Blackberry users. There is a reason why they were once dubbed Crackberry you know. One amazing product can bring them back in the game.

Theres always some room for competition!!! Im tired of listening just Apple vs Android , i would like to hear something new!!!

18. BBGrind posted on 01 May 2012, 15:47 2

Yess this keyboard is a winner, love. love the phone style too.

19. cityeighteen posted on 01 May 2012, 17:31

I like what I see so far.

OS doesn't look half bad, not quite as good as Android but after some development it should look fine. Also, doesn't it look like RIM took an iPhone, covered up the home button, and just spray-painted the whole device black? I know its a prototype, but that looks a helluva lot more similar to the SGS2 that wasn't allowed in the US for an extended period of time

Hope for the best for RIM!
