BlackBerry World™ is the largest annual gathering for the BlackBerry ecosystem. It has replaced the annual developer-only BlackBerry Wireless Enterprise Symposium (WES), evolving into a conference that caters for all BlackBerry mobile phone and tablet enthusiasts.
Two BIG announcements at the conference happening right now at the Orlando World Center Marriott, Florida, USA:
BlackBerry 10 – A sneak preview of the upcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system (OS). According to the new RIM CEO Thorsten Heins “its all about the flow”. It does indeed seem to be about the flow as this preview video seems to show.
User Experience has always been the main driver for BlackBerry sales in the past. However, off late Android & iOS have been made gains in this area. Does RIM have something under its hat that can change the company’s fortunes?
BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha – A new device being distributed free to developers at the Conference to develop apps for the BB10 OS.
If developers get a dev device, build a BB10 app and submit it, RIM will give them a limited edition final BB10 Dev device when BB10 launches. What is BB10 Dev Alpha?
