B L A C K B E R R Y 1 0 - For Humans

Before the release of Blackberry 10, and in fact even before I actually got to know BB10 , My feelings about blackberry was that with Blackberry, just like the fruit of the same name,  you either like it or you don't, but now I truly can say my mindset about the company has changed. The new Software , design and specs on the new devices are far ahead of what they used to be and its hard to believe how far the company has come in less than a year!

iOS and Android have notification , Blackberry has Blackberry Hub. No matter where you are or what you are doing on your blackberry 10 device you can just swipe up to bring up a notification style bar with , as in the name,  your notifications. Swipe right  to bring up Blackberry Hub , a overview of all of your recent messages and conversations.

This being the first truly fully touch-screen device by Blackberry after many Blackberries with the traditional QWERTY keyboard, Blackberry has really made an effort to create an on-screen keyboard that is , if not as good as , better than the QWERTY keyboard. The new Blackberry Keyboard makes typing effortless, It learns the way you type and recommends words that you use often. If you mistype a letter or word , they keyboard will adjust it to insure you type the right key.

BBM just got much better. BBM video is Blackberry's answer to Skype and Face time. With this feature you can talk face to face with the people who are most important to you. You can also share your screen therefore you can show friends or business partners documents or basically anything on your screen.

Have you ever taken a picture just a few milliseconds to late. If you have then you would know how irritating it is. Well with Time shift on BB10 , after taking a picture you can go back or forward  a few milliseconds in time , in order to get the perfect picture.

This Siri like feature is a Voice Assistant that listens and does what you ask of it, it can send BBM messages , schedule meetings , set alarms and much more.

Blackberry World

Formerly known as The blackberry App World, the App's name was changed since the store now not only offers Apps but music and videos. This addition puts blackberry up there with Apple's iTunes and App Store and Amazon's Store. Which I think will definitely take blackberry to new levels.
