Blackberry RIM 10 is detailed in the Blackberry Jam
Things are not looking very good for RIM lately , with the loss of market share in the U.S. . However, BlackBerry 10, the new platform based on QNX, it could be the answer you were expecting one of those responsible for popularizing the smartphones .
BB10 completely gets rid of the keyboard, perhaps one of the most recognizable features of the Blackberries, to bring an interface completely manipulated by touch, with a virtual keyboard can learn from our habits (similar to SwiftKey). Through gestures, we can manipulate text quickly. A swipe back deleted words, while a swipe forward autocomplete the word.

The multitasking works like that in the Playbook, ie we have a true multitasking gestures directed left or right to see the applications that are running simultaneously.
One of the reasons why RIM seems to have stalled in the last year, is the insistence on trying to upgrade their system operational, trying to adapt to a world touch, which, as it did with Symbian (Nokia platform) did not work at all well. The answer should always be this: develop a new platform to compete directly with other new platforms. Nokia did, adopting Windows Phone operating system. And it also seems that RIM has finally succeeded, with its BlackBerry platform 10. There is still space in the mobile world for competitors. What is needed are platforms worthwhile, and it seems that this year will be very interesting.
