All about BlackBerry 10

The BlackBerry 10 operating system has been completely redesigned to support, learn and adapt the way you work and share and has a gesture-based interface.

Interestingly, the BlackBerry 10 launches with 70,000 BB10 apps on the BlackBerry World.

The highlights of BB10:

BlackBerry Hub: It is single place to manage all the conversations whether personal or work email, BBM messages, social media updates or notifications, and the ability to "peek" into the BlackBerry Hub from anywhere, so you're always only one swipe away from what matters to you.

BlackBerry Flow: BB10 enables features and apps to flow seamlessly together, helping you complete the task at hand effortlessly and efficiently. For example, you can tap on an attendee listed for a meeting to see their latest tweet or LinkedIn profile. A keyboard that understands and adapts to you, that learns what words you use and how you use them, then offers them up to you so you can type faster and more accurately.

BlackBerry Balance Technology: It elegantly separates and secures work applications and data from personal content on BlackBerry devices.

Time Shift: This is an astonishing camera feature that lets you capture a group shot where everyone is smiling with their eyes wide open. Story Maker allows you to bring a collection of photos and videos together, along with music and effects, to produce an HD movie that you can instantly share.

BlackBerry 10 Browser: The new browser, which sets the industry benchmark for HTML5 support on smartphones, is incredibly fast. Scrolling or zooming is fluid and responsive. The browser includes many advanced features, supports multiple tabs, lets you browse sites privately, includes a reader mode, and integrates with the platform for easily sharing content.

BlackBerry Remember: It combines memos, tasks and much more into a single experience. It helps you organize and manage information you have on your smartphone around projects or ideas, letting you collect content such as websites, emails, photos, documents, and other files, and then like a to-do list it lets you create tasks, assign due dates, and track your progress. If your BlackBerry 10 smartphone is set up with a work account, your Microsoft Outlook Tasks will automatically be wirelessly synced with BlackBerry Remember.

BlackBerry Safeguard Technology: This helps in protecting what is important to you, and the business you work for.

BlackBerry has announced the BB 10 operating system on two new devices - the Z10 and the Q10. The BBZ10 is likely to be launched in India by the last week of February 2013 while the Q10 will be available globally only in April 2013.
