What can you expect from BlackBerry 10?

BlackBerry 10’s interface will resemble something along the lines of Android and iOS’s designs, which will integrate widgets, home screens and app lists.

The touch-oriented operating system will use the new Cascades UI Framework to enhance graphics for the BB10 interface.

So absolutely nothing new, with a horrible looking phone, fewer apps than everyone else, no backwards compatibility, and a USP prone to more attrition than their staff compliment.

I see absolutely nothing of interest here - just an excuse for their CEO to explain why it will be late. Again...
 
If there were any devs still interested in the BB platform, they must have defected by now to either iOS or Android.

They need to put food on the table for their families, can't wait for RIM to get their house in order.

So...my big question is.....will there be any apps written for BB10 come 2013? Somehow I just don't think so.

R.I.P RIM & BlackBerry

Aren't they guaranteeing $10k minimum, per app...?

Pretty sure that is a cover. Sort-of like new BMW drive around with body mods to disguise their shape before launch.

I wonder if BB 10 will be enough to compete with Android and iOS.

Unlikely.

No idea. RIM does the version thing weirdly anyway.

I gather there is some enthusiasm among the few devs still left. Sounds like they have some type of app builder thing going that makes things easier.

Regardless of what they do I'll bail at the end of my contract. Not so much because of RIM/device...its just that BIS is a fcking pain.

HEY!

My wife still wants a BlackBerry.

As a matter of fact, lots of socailites use BB.

And I never get why?! I am yet to meet a BB owner whose phone worked properley for two years without some hardware problems. Maybe I just got stupid friends..

Luckily I got my wife converted and her next phone will be an S3 :)
 
Must say, I still like BB for business use! Social use - absolutely you can go android /iOS - but their email etc is not to the level of BB imho
 
Devs doing work for Android can through a very short process create a native BB10 app from the Android code. Will not take long for all Android apps to be on BB10. Picture not as bleak.

Myself keen on getting new Playbook.

sounds like two of the guys i work with, the last part too. they got tired of dingleberries and moved to the s3 on upgrade. :)

also, if they're going to have an android/ios look, aren't they opening themselves up to lawsuits from apple?

+1 Also don't get it. It's probably because they've never used anything but a BB and thus do not know that BB is in fact quite far behind the likes of Android and iOS in terms of email.
