BlackBerry 10 Developer Debut

BlackBerry World 2012 and BlackBerry 10 Jam have taken off today in Orlando, Florida. RIM wasted no time showing off what they have in store for us as the company unveiled its vision for the BlackBerry 10 platform and released the initial developer toolkit for the native QNX based operating system and HTML5 software development.

 Focusing on RIM’s vision of the BlackBerry 10 platform the company showed off the BlackBerry 10 developer alpha device, which will be RIM’s first handset to run the same OS as the BlackBerry PlayBook.

 The device has a 4.2-inch display with 1280 x 768 resolution, 16 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM, an HSPA+ radio, a mini HDMI port and microSD card slot. RIM even showcased the functionality of the basic controls, were gestures / swiping reveal notifications and allow users to move easily through applications.

 We also got a look at the touch keyboard that provides word prediction as well alternate keys.

 While the developer unit is total touchscreen RIM tried to preserve the look and feel of the famous BlackBerry keyboard by spacing the keys the same as current physical keyboard models.

 Users will be able to look forward to some game playing as RIM announced that they would be including 11 games with the BlackBerry 10 platform with many developers preparing games to help you through boring meetings.

 RIM is also working with PixelMags to give users the ability to read online magazines.

 “BlackBerry 10 builds upon the core values and exceptional users experience that have attracted more than 77 million BlackBerry customers around the world,” said Alec Saunders, Vice President, Developer Relations and Ecosystems Development.

 Saunders continued, “Developers building for BlackBerry 10 will be able to easily create the kind of cutting-edge and other apps like BBM or by leveraging the new signature design elements of this new and powerful mobile computing platform.

” We are hoping for a BlackBerry 10 release this summer.
