When it comes to BlackBerry, it is synonymous with business phones; Security, business, fast typing speed of QWERTY full keyboard, strong timeliness of mail receiving and pushing, good call quality, and so on. Almost all designs are auxiliary for daily business office; Many years ago, BlackBerry was a must for Wall Street business elites. On January 30, 2013, can Blackberry 10, as a turning weapon, reproduce its former glory?

From Playbook to BB DevAlpha Developer

How much do you know about Playbook, the first tablet computer of Blackberry? In September 2010, RIM released the 7-inch tablet computer Playbook. As a response to Apple's iPad, Playbook's operating system originated from RIM's acquisition of QNX in early 2010. This new system is similar to a hybrid of BlackBerry OS 6 and Palm WebOS. It is mainly aimed at business people, but a large number of multimedia functions have also attracted many people's attention.

Playbook does not support BlackBerry email? No Chinese system? Domestic users must pay in dollars if they want to buy apps in the APP world. With the name of BlackBerry, Playbook has lost many excellent business office capabilities that BlackBerry phones should have. But Playbook shows us the powerful performance of QNX system.

HP's WEBOS system adopts card style gesture operation, while QNX is also card style gesture operation. You don't need to use any physical keys to get the Playbook. You can use operation gestures such as closing programs, switching programs, and unlocking the screen.

Playbook's QNX system is a very powerful system that can run the Windows simulator and run the re encapsulated Android APP. Students who have played with Playbook may fall in love with this magical tablet. Unfortunately, it has no living ecosystem. So far, RIM seems to have lost interest in the first generation of Playbook, and is fully planning Blackberry 10. There was a rumor that Playbook would upgrade to the BB10 system after the BB10 system was released, but RIM did not show any signs to prove this.

At the Blackberry BB10 developer conference in 2012, we saw the BB DevAlpha development machine, which is the prototype machine of the future Blackberry 10. Xiao Bian was lucky to get the development machine at that time. Because he was familiar with Playbook, he found that the development machine was a small Playbook, but the version number of the system was the developer's version Operations involve many things that are completely similar. RIM has also released the BB10 test system, and it can already run imperfectly on the existing Playbook, and can also be mixed with Chinese. But in the eyes of BlackBerry and the majority of operators, it is just the foreshadowing of BB10, and it is just an unsuccessful "test product". But everything RIM has done heralds the arrival of BlackBerry 10, and it has also made great efforts.

Blackberry 10 How much do you know?

In view of the sharp increase of Android smartphones and the dominance of Apple iPhone 5 in the market, the competitive environment has not been significantly improved. The BlackBerry brand has lost its charm and can no longer win the favor of users. BlackBerry 10 will be the best indicator to test the loyalty of its 80 million users. BlackBerry Hub, Peek gesture, Balance business function, new version of BES, voice control and other excellent functions are all concentrated in the BB10, and BlackBerry also revealed that the BB10 model not only has a full touch screen, but also has a classic full keyboard phone.

Operators also place high hopes on RIM and its prospects. Under the leadership of the new CEO Thorsten Heins, RIM promised to release Blackberry 10 globally on January 30, 2013 Beijing time. Operators hope that a third feasible operating system will appear in the market. If Windows Phone fails, RIM may open a new chapter. At least, operators will not abandon BlackBerry 10 as they abandoned PlayBook.

RIM's share price closed up nearly 14%, and since November 14, the company's share price has risen nearly 40%. The latest mobile phones based on the BB10 system will be released soon.

RIM， come on.
