Thanks to the ever-savvy folks behind CrackBerry.com, we know about two upcoming features of the BlackBerry 10 platform.

First, the upcoming OS will feature a new task manager called BlackBerry Remember, replacing the earlier Tasks app. It is described as a smart to-do list makers that also allows users to “capture and organize content and ideas in a way that makes it easy to decide what to do next”. You’ll be able to add tasks from anywhere and later move them into groups and projects in order to keep track of things. Additionally, syncing with Outlook calendar will also come included.

The second BlackBerry news we have suggests the upcoming RIM-made smartphones will come with built-in software for video calls – BBM Video. This application will go beyond face-to-face video calls to also include screen sharing to the mix…

Sounds pretty cool and when we know that BBM Voice is already a hit, BBM Video could find its fans just as easily. We’ll see whether we dig out any other BlackBerry 10 news before the official launch of the first devices. Stay tuned…
