The Unofficial BlackBerry Weblog
Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder, and, one of the nicest guys in tech is not shy when it comes to offering his opinions on current technology and trends he sees coming down the pike.
In a Street Insider interview Woz states that “BlackBerry will eventually have to switch to the Android operating system.”
What do you think? Is Woz right?

Yes, I was one of those folks who went out and bought a BlackBerry PlayBook the first day the device was available back in April of 2011.
To this day I say that the PlayBook has one of the best mobile browsers available, although, I fully admit that I rarely ever use my PlayBook.
The hardware in the PlayBook was pretty good, but, the OS and lack of application support relegated my device to electronic junk drawer status. Today I use my PlayBook to check out new applications, and, quite honestly, nothing more.

We’ve seen a lot of reviews of BlackBerry 10 and the Z10 since its launch at the beginning of February, and, for the most part, reviews have been pretty favorable of BlackBerry’s next generation OS.
The big question for BlackBerry, however, is whether or not businesses and consumers will actually go out and buy BlackBerry 10 devices.
If you head over to the updated BlackBerry YouTube channel you will find a plethora of new videos showing off the new BlackBerry 10 operating system…
Of all the things I was expecting to come out of the BlackBerry 10 launch today, Research in Motion changing it’s name to “BlackBerry” was not one of them.
I’ll be the first to admit just a few years ago when the BlackBerry was the predominant smartphone platform in the industry, a significant number of BlackBerry users had no idea that the name of the company that built their device was Research in Motion. Even today, although RIM is a pretty popular name, many people who know the acronym, don’t know what it stands for.
I guess I can understand why RIM would change its name, but, changing the company name to the name of the product??? That one is going to have to grow on me.
BlackBerryarkable just doesn’t have the same ring to it…

Research in Motion recently sent out media invitations for the BlackBerry 10 Launch event being held in New York City on January 30th.
To say that BlackBerry 10 is RIM’s last, best chance to remain an independent player in the the today’s smartphone industry currently dominated by Android and the iPhone is a bit of an understatement.
There is, however, no shortage of rumors which indicate that BlackBerry 10 is absolutely a rock solid mobile operating system and several use adjectives like “ground breaking” when describing its features…

One of my favorite, and, most used mobile apps is Evernote, so, I was very pleased to hear that BlackBerry 10 has very deep integration with Evernote via BlackBerry 10’s Remember App.
89 Apps, via the BlackBerry 10 SDK, discovered that one of Remember’s 4 notebook types is an Evernote notebook entry.

Last night at BlackBerry Jam Asia, Research in Motion officially renamed BlackBerry App World to BlackBerry World…
We don’t think that we’d be going out on a limb if we were to assume that the new branding has something to do with the addition of music and video to the BlackBerry World store.

BBin came across a shot of a BlackBerry 10 L-Series device in comparison to the iPhone, 5, Nokia Lumia 820, and Samsung Galaxy Note.
The Galaxy Note is a huge device and makes every phone placed next to it look tiny, however, the L-Series has a 4.2 inch display and is a pretty decently sized device.
Research in Motion is holding their BlackBerry 10 Launch Event on Jan. 30, 2013, so, we should be able to get our hands (officially) on a new BlackBerry 10 device in just a couple of months…
