subject: Blackberry 10 Is Not Just An Os, A Lot More Than That [print this page] We all witnessed the steady downfall of Rim in last five years. This downfall can be attributed to plenty of reasons like product delays, rising competition of Google and Apple. This further lead to drop in market shares, big changes in upper management and reduced jobs. Blackberry 10 is like a ray of hope for RIM as well as the potent vendors who are still ready to invest in this platform.
BB10 is a buzz these days. It is in news for its new tie-ups, jam sessions; Bb10 enabled apps, new developers, alpha devices, app platform monetization etc. Another aspect which is drawing views is why RIM is not considering making an Android enabled devices. BlackBerry app development incurred a major setback in passing time but still manages to draw good number of developers to the recently launched jam sessions.
BB10 is expected to hit the mobile apps development market in the start of next year but the date is not fixed yet. RIM has urged its developers to submit their applications by November. According to RIM, it is more focused on end user experience with the applications rather than number of application in the app store. The success of an application will be determined by the no of users coming back to the application and getting engaged in the app by pulling and pushing back information.
Mobile apps developers having skills in HTML5, QT, Adobe, C, C++, java and Android can work on BB10 platform. It can be considered as the more monetizing platform than its competitor Android. Developers working on BB10 platform will certainly avail better services and monetary gains. BlackBerry 10 will focus mainly on integration of BBM (Blackberry messenger) with its applications. Now, BBM will become more social and innovative in terms of integration.
Thus, we can say that as per the RIMs statements BB10 is not just an OS rather it will a huge investment made by RIM for its end users and developers. The Blackberry application developer who are working on this platform are quite mesmerized with its features and capability.
