Research In Motion
Limited (USA)(NASDAQ:RIMM is expecting to build up a comeback in the new year
on the back of a fresh operating system named Blackberry 10.
While RIM is trying to
innovate, it is also being careful about abandoning the loyal customers, who
have not left BlackBerry. Along with the new all-touch smartphone, which is
supposed to be introduced with the new operating system in the month of
January, the company has also been touting a BB10 model with a complete
keyboard.
RIM flaunted the device
at its BlackBerry Jam developers’ event and mentioned it on Thursday in the
company’s developer blog. RIM is launching a limited number of developer
versions to allow app makers modify their devices for QWERTY input, as told by
the company.
Only app developers,
who can prove that they are working on two or more apps for the operating
system are eligible for getting the phones. Only priority developers can
receive devices, as per the post. Those developers making apps particularly for
the BlackBerry will stand at being at a higher priority than those adapting
apps from other OSs, like Android onto BlackBerry 10.
Getting developers
interested in the new system is very important for the company that has claimed
that it wants to focus on building out its app store with significant programs tempting
to its business-centered customers.
The company has opened
the BlackBerry App World for programs to operate on the latest phones at
launch.
BB 10 aims at providing
secure but fluid navigation between personal and business information of the
user and is due to release on 30th January. The company is expected
to introduce two smartphones very soon after the operating system goes live.
In a different
announcement, RIM launched an upgrade to BlackBerry Mobile Fusion 6, the
company’s mobility management application for organizing existing models of
BlackBerry together with iOS and Android devices.
