With the Apple press conference at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center on September 12, iPhone 5 is the hot topic since then. Now iPhone 5 hit 5 million sales since then. Not any other smartphones can compare with it, it is really amazing.

After about one year’s delay, The RIM finally open its next-generation BlackBerry 10 operating system at the company's annual developer conference to get another chance to prove their worth , which was on Sept 25,2012 in San Jose, Calif. But people have to wait at least 5 months to see the new blackberry products.
It can be sure that Blackberry 10 will get L,N and M series. But rumor comes that there is a hidden R series which amie to entry-level users.If so, this will help to grow Blackberry 10 platform’s market share.

So what can we expect from Blackberry 10?
Let first look at some pictures from the BlackBerry developer conference.

1 The company is expected to tell us about some of the other its key aspects, hopefully including more of its camera innovations and immersive features like social networking and communications.

2 As for the blackberry users, RIM's browser has always been a weak spot. So we would see a browser with a speedy reaction during the keynote address. We're also guaranteed to get a heavy dose of security considerations and enthusiastic encouragement for Android developers to port their apps to the new BlackBerry OS.

3 RIM is placing extra emphasis on its BlackBerry App World catalog, promising to launch BlackBerry 10 OS with more apps than any other smartphone OS which means its rigidity and stodgier tools helped it largely miss out on the app explosion that occurred for Apple's iOS and Google's Android platform.

BlackBerry 10 beta release gets Siri-like voice command feature

Research In Motion (RIM) recently released an update to their developer alpha devices for BlackBerry 10 OS. One of the biggest features in the new build of BlackBerry 10 was the voice command feature with an operator whose voice sounds very similar to Apple’s Siri.

The new voice command feature is accessed by pressing the voice command button set between the two volume buttons in the developer alpha devices. It is still an early beta build so the voice command has limited functionality, but N4BB demonstrates that it has a universal search function, apart from calling and sending text messages. It may not yet be ready for prime time use, but it sounds very similar to Siri from Apple’s iPhone.

The voice command technology is speculated to be powered by Nuance, the same company that Apple acquired Siri from.

According to earlier reports, RIM had confirmed that BlackBerry 10 will include a video chat feature through RIM's popular BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) service. This didn’t come as a surprise, considering that the BlackBerry PlayBook also has a Video Chat feature and the Dev Alpha devices being handed out to developers had front facing cameras. This was the first time RIM confirmed that there would be Video Chat available on BBM.

The upcoming BlackBerry 10 is highly anticipated. RIM recently released its developer tools for BlackBerry 10. Building a strong library of applications for the new BlackBerry platform is crucial to its success as its existing library of apps is far smaller than rival offerings from Apple and Google. Many of its available apps are incompatible with the upcoming BlackBerry 10. RIM is struggling to reverse years of slowing sales, delayed and disappointing product launches, and an embarrassing global outage of its prized network.

The updates to the developer tools help apps interact with each other, and make use of the BlackBerry network to push notifications to devices. RIM also opened App World in May to enable developers using a test device to share their work among themselves.

Last month, RIM reported an operating loss deeper than expected. The company said that it was reducing almost 10 percent of its workforce as it had delayed the BlackBerry 10 launch to the first quarter of 2013. The first devices to run BlackBerry 10 were originally expected to release early this year.
