BlackBerry 10: What you’re saying
We got our first look at the BlackBerry 10 platform at BlackBerry World this morning and we’re torn on it mainly because we can’t really use it fully. We got a taste of what’s to come but it’s too early to judge it now. Still, that doesn’t mean people aren’t entitled to their opinions, so we used Storify to pull in some of the online reaction to BlackBerry 10. The reaction ran the gamut, as some loved the fresh look while others thought it was still lagging behind the iPhone … Read more

Will BlackBerry 10 save RIM?
Research In Motion just showed off its next-generation operating system and BlackBerry 10 could be quite nice on a phone. The intuitive user interface, excellent mobile keyboard and interesting camera software may finally bring BlackBerry users into the modern smartphone age. I fear it may be too late to reverse RIM’s slide, though. “We’re taking our time to make sure we get this right,” RIM CEO Thorsten Heins about BlackBerry 10 during the company’s largest conference. It showed off some teaser videos, demonstrated a few new features of BlackBerry 10 … Read more

RIM BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha hands-on [photos]
Research in Motion showed off its BlackBerry 10 operating system at BlackBerry World today and there was a lot of excitement because it delivered a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device to those attending. We spent a little time with it and you can check out the pictures below, unfortunately they weren’t allowing videos. The strange thing about the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device is that it’s not running BlackBerry 10, it’s running a stripped down version of BlackBerry OS 2.0. I know what you’re thinking, cue the sad trombone but … Read more

RIM shows BlackBerry 10 during BBWC keynote [photos]
Research In Motion is holding its big BlackBerry World conference in Orlando and it just finished the keynote speech. The biggest news is that we finally got a glimpse at its next-generation BlackBerry 10 platform and it looked pretty impressive. CEO Thorsten Heins delivered his first keynote as the leader of RIM and it wasn’t an easy job. RIM has been steadily losing market share in the major markets (emerging markets have grown though) and the general perception is that the BlackBerry maker is on its way down. Heins delivered … Read more

RIM teases BlackBerry 10 [video]
We’re live from the Research In Motion BlackBerry World conference and the company just showed off its next-generation operating system, BlackBerry 10. While we’re not expecting devices for a while, the company is seeding a developer device to attendees and released the teaser video below. RIM says that BlackBerry 10 is designed to make you “agile and nimble,” and that all of the information will work in a “flow.” This means that all the apps will continue to run in the background and that the intelligent notification system will allow … Read more

RIM admits it orchestrated the Wake Up flashmob
Yesterday, we reported that Research in Motion was reportedly behind the Wake Up flashmob that took Apple’s Sydney, Australia store by storm last week. While many believed it was Samsung behind the campaign to promote the imminent unveiling of the Galaxy S III superphone being unveiled on Thursday in London, RIM has officially named themselves responsible for the orchestration of the flashmob. The move is part of a larger marketing campaign RIM has planned for the launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform, which we should be learning more about later … Read more

Once the handset is unveiled, we should get some glimpses of the BlackBerry 10 operating system, RIM’s attempt at an OS to truly compete with offerings from Apple, Google, and Microsoft. The developer phone won’t see its way beyond the hands of the developers, … Read more

RIM thought to be the culprit behind the ‘Wake up’ Apple protest
Last week, a company paid for a “Wake Up” protest to be held in front of an Apple Store in Sydney Australia. Reports immediately swept the internet that Samsung was behind the campaign. A Samsung-backed Wake Up protest certainly made sense, as Samsung has been very loudly biting at Apple with its “Dude, you’re a barista” and “The next big thing is already here” campaigns, promoting the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note superphones (respectively). With the Galaxy S III launching later this week, Samsung was the obvious culprit. But, … Read more

Though it recently hired a law firm to work out a restructuring plan, RIM is betting on BlackBerry 10 to propel RIM back into a state of relevance in the smartphone market. We’ve seen some leaks come out pertaining to BlackBerry 10, and prototype devices are due to hit BlackBerry World in May. RIM CEO Thorsten Heins has openly stated that we’ll see BlackBerry 10 hit the consumer market in the later half of 2012, and sources for N4BB have narrowed that window down to October 2012. According to the source, … Read more

RIM hires legal firm to restructure
Facing a dire financial situation, Research in Motion (RIM) is weighing all its options. Not content with building out their restructuring plan from within, RIM has hired the services of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP to work on a plan that could include selling off assets, joint ventures, or licensing existing RIM patents and services. The move comes amid increased competition from other mobile ecosystems, most notably Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android, which have pulled customers away from BlackBerry at alarming rates. The number of individuals purchasing RIM devices continues … Read more
