example, BB 10 has Hub to have all messages in unified inbox; an excellent and refined implementation of “lifestream”; described by The Register as “brutally utilitarian”. You can “peek in” to incoming notifications without loosing focus on current task.

QNX is able to multitask to open multiple applications with an overlay and not “in-and-out experience” as for others. BB 10 allows “home” applications to be set apart from “work” space with a clear divide between them. A time shift camera taking multiple pictures allows you to choose the perfect shot. Touch screen keyboard, bane of other platforms, has “heat sensing algorithms” to accurately place individual keystrokes and phenomenal adaptability for predictive input surpassing it’s iconic physical sibling. The desktop application has also been revamped to interface and back up BB 10.

RIM is likely to rise like a phoenix from the ashes. The current platform is a testimony to incredible thought process; a boon for hyper connected successful individuals. BB 10 promises to be a refined alternative to Apple and Android. This reviewer is excited with possibility of granular productivity enhancements in developed feature set, a promise of excellent hardware exceeding current phones; a testimony to the wizards from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Of late RIM has lost huge ground to Apple & Google. To comeback successfully it will need a lot more than a good or a great product. It will need something path-breaking. Something that is cool and has never been seen or done before. Something which is practical at the same time. Basically it needs to out-think Google and Apple. Its a steep slope to climb but not impossible. RIM have done the right thing by not rushing with the launch of BB10. Now just hope they have a winner on their hands and they market it well!!
