The BlackBerry 10 OS: RIM had revealed the new OS in its BlackBerry Jam conference in September last year, touchscreen is what we are likely to see. The new predictive text is quite fast and accurate but whether it will be a valuable replacement for the physical QWERTY keyboard remains to be seen.
BlackBerry has also gone for a new user-interface design, with large icons which might very similar to the Android experience. RIM also promises jazzy new apps for Facebook, Twitter, etc for BlackBerry 10 OS.
BlackBerry World: This is BlackBerry’s new app store and RIM is promising that it has gathered a number of big-name music and video partners ranging from Walt Disney Studios and Sony Pictures to Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group.
According to RIM, BlackBerry World content store would include an extensive catalog of songs, movies and television shows. Most movies will be available the same day they are released on DVD, with next-day availability for many TV series.
