Hi
guys, this is Tech Doll and I’m here today to give you some dope on the new
Blackberry 10 OS.
Research
In Motion, the company in charge for construction BlackBerry phones will soon give
software developers prototype devices that run an early version of the
BlackBerry 10 platform. RIM is hosting a
BlackBerry 10 event in Orlando in May which will coincide with its annual BlackBerry
World user conference. There, a limited number of developers will have the chance
to cooperate around with the product. The company has already encouraged
developers to grab one of the 2,000 developer spots in order to let developers
push the sales of the diminishing BB podium and bring in some modernisms to an otherwise
boring phone system. Giving prototypes to developers so far in advance of its
consumer release, then, is a way to make sure that developers and customers
remember that there's a device on its way from the company.
Although
RIM said the prototype, labeled "BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha," is not going
to be the completed smartphone projected for consumers, the revamped BlackBerry
line is expected to launch in late 2012.
The
smartphone maker is facing stiff competition from competing platforms like
Apple's iOS and Google's Android. RIM is expected to release its latest quarterly
earnings on Thursday, and that data will be indicating how it's fared against those
rivals over the past three months.
Although
everyone does think that BB might be a dying OS, this might bring in a glimmer
of hope and might thump in new life into what looks like a candle in the wind
right now.
Competitive
pressures from not only Apple but what Google is doing with Android, and the recent
moves with Microsoft by Nokia, all of those competitive issues are putting
pressure on them to get their spec up, and early designs up in hopes they can
still get some attention.
While
the prototypes might generate some buzz for BlackBerry 10, especially among developers,
I worry RIM has already lost crucial parts of some of it’s originally core
markets, including the corporate market.
So its
finger crossed for the new blackberry 10 o.s ….hope it doesn’t show a decline therein…
