BlackBerry 10 has really transformed Research in Motion, a brand that
was recognised around the world after its smartphones. So, the company
will now be called Blackberry. This was announced by CEO Thorsten Heins
at the launch of the company's much awaited operating system and
devices. "It is one brand, one promise."
Along with the new
operating system, Heins also announced the launched of the new devices,
the full-touch Z10 and the Q10, which will come with the trademark
QWERTY keypad. "These devices aggregate information for me intuitively,"
said Heins, adding that they made the Q10 for people who said they just
had to have a physical keyboard.
BlackBerry 10 gives a "peek"
into your work whatever you are doing. So if you are watching a video
and the alert glows, you can just peek with a movement of the finger
without leaving your video. Everything is one-handed with on the
BlackBerry Hub, which is the one-stop-shop for all you work and
entertainment. You can do everything from tweeting to checking mail
without leaving this screen.
The new OS also pulls details about
people in your contacts including their photos, past engagements,
social updates and even educational qualifications. His comes with a
historical timeline for all the contacts, all without leaving the
Blackberry Hub. Meanwhile, the new keyboard lets your just flick words
without actually typing them.
