Wikitude announced that it will support the newly unveiled BlackBerry 10, which may or may not help RIM survive the ever competitive mobile landscape.

RIM: Scalado powers BlackBerry 10′s camera timeline features
When RIM showed off the camera enhancements built into BlackBerry 10, many in the tech community were impressed. After all, the technology takes successive photos, and allows you to pick parts of the image from each photo and merge it into one finished product, which can come in quite handy if one of the people in your photo blinked during the capture. This wasn’t the first time we’ve heard of such a technology. Back in February, a company called Scalado demoed a similar camera technology, Scalado Remove, to major tech … Read more

Survey: Most devs not making money from apps, spend $0 on marketing
If you spend it, they will come. That’s the message App Promo received loud and clear in their First Annual Development Survey. A whopping 52% of developers have absolutely no money set aside for marketing their applications, and the same percentage spends 5% of their time or less promoting their applications. This is despite 91% of developers believing that marketing is the key to app success. As a result, nearly 80% of developers don’t generate enough revenue to support a standalone business. By contrast, there are about 12% of the developer … Read more

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 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
