Issue of smartphones on the BlackBerry 10 transferred to next year

Bad news for fans of the Canadian production of RIM (if any still remain). Smartphones on the latest BlackBerry OS 10 will not at the end of this year, as expected, but only in the following. If you're lucky - in the first quarter. RIM has officially informed about this the other day in the announcement of financial results of the quarter.

What happens to the RIM, except as a complete collapse is not called. Since mid-2008 exchange rate of its stock lost 95% of the cost. That is, in fact, the company has depreciated almost completely. In the last quarter, RIM has lost a net loss of over half a billion dollars ($ 518 million). After the news of the shares immediately fell another 14%. In the near future planned layoffs for 5,000 people.

The only glimmer of hope that remains for RIM - is the latest smartphones in the BlackBerry system 10, based on the architecture of QNX. In RIM announced that they appear only in the first quarter of 2013. First, they were expected later this year, which was also too late, according to many experts. Watch out for iPhone 5, and many new products on the Jelly Bean, and RIM will be even harder to win back the backlog.

But there is a small spoon of honey: in the last quarter of the number of BlackBerry users increased slightly. It grew in all regions except North America, and now stands at 78 million, but whether it is to somehow help the perishing Titanic telephone industry - that is the question.

IPhone owners want a BlackBerry 10

All of us are no longer sit still in anticipation of the release of BlackBerry 10: I want to look at the new operating system at least one eye. Unfortunately, all we've seen before - a development and test some early demos featured developers at conferences is akin to 10 BlackBerry Jam.Released at the end of last week's image once again stirred up interest among fans of BlackBerry. Some have even dared to suggest that what he saw - this is nothing like a secret video BlackBerry OS 10, mysteriously caught up in the web. We are, after some time spent on a detailed study and analysis of this movie, yet came to the conclusion that this is a simple theme for the devices on iOS. Yes, you heard right - "sharpened" under BlackBerry theme, but for the iPhone.Despite the fact that it looks quite nice, nothing can turn the iPhone into a BlackBerry device on the basis of 10. Therefore, we can only humbly wait for this such a device. But do not forget to tell us through the form of comments, if you have already installed this theme on your unlocked jailbreak iPhone. After a couple of you, they certainly are!

BlackBerry 10 prototype of disappointed investors

Research In Motion Ltd unveiled a prototype of its next 10 BlackBerry smartphone, but the market was not impressed by the fact that showed the Canadian company. This says reuters.

The prototype has no physical keyboard, unlike the classic smartphone this company, and looks like a smaller version of the tablet PlayBook, produced by Canadian company. RIM also demonstrated software tools for creating applications that will work on the gadget.

However, an analyst at BGC Partners Colin Gillis said that the presentation only reminded of how far the company has lagged behind its main competitors.

A small number of applications running on the old BlackBerry, has become one of the main reasons why RIM in recent years has sharply reduced the share of the market and continues to give it to Apple Inc and manufacturers of phones running Android from Google Inc.

"RIM has lost entirely the confidence of investors. Need something extraordinary to change this situation," - said the managing director of Northland Wealth Management David Kokfild.

To regain the former appeal, RIM essentially starts from scratch. Only some of the applications that run on a BlackBerry now, you can use the new phones.

BlackBerry 10 will be based on the new operating system, QNX, compatible with many programming languages, open source, which, according to the company, should attract developers of new programs, and independent content producers.

A recent study of analytical companies Appcelerator and IDC found that less than 16 percent of software developers "very interested" in developing applications for RIM, compared with 90 percent interest in Apple and 80 per cent - in Android.
