Invitations
were released by Research In Motion for the launch of the BlackBerry 10 in an
event that will be held in New York City.
The company
sent the invitations to a number of media outlets for the event in Pier 36 for
the world premiere of the BlackBerry 10. No other details were released by RIM
except for the tagline “Re-designed. Re-engineered. Re-invented”.
Last month
the company revealed that the BlackBerry 10 will be launched on January 30. A
full-touch screen device is expected to be launched by the company during the
event. RIM is also expected to unveil another device that has a similar design
as the current BlackBerry Bold handset.
A number of
delays have affected the launch on the BlackBerry 10, which was not made
easier by a number of issues that the company has been facing for a number of
months. The market share of the company has gone down even in the niche that it
dominated, the enterprise niche.
Industry
watchers have indicated that the BlackBerry 10 is the best chance of the
company to be able to compete against the Android and iOS. RIM revealed last
October that carrier tests were already being done, which show that the company
was making some progress in the development of the operating system.
The company
also launched the BlackBerry 10 Technical Review that gave enterprise, media,
insurance, financial, and government clients to evaluate the operating system. Among
the participants in this evaluation are a number of Fortune 500 companies.
The
Notebooks feature of the BlackBerry 10 is expected to be demonstrated by the
company during the event. The Notebooks feature is supposedly a folder-like
object containing notebook entries.
A number of
applications are also expected to be offered by the upcoming BlackBerry 10 OS of
RIM.
