Well, here goes. RIM is announcing its new BlackBerry 10 OS and hardware today. This could be the launch that gets RIM back in the game for smartphones. Or it could be the last time BlackBerry is relevant. It's a big moment.
We'll be covering everything about BB10 and the new hardware right here, in one place. Some of what RIM will show today has been seen in demos and previews and leaked shots, but there will be plenty of new stuff to chew on as well. RIM has a lot to prove today.
Some of the things we expect to see are details about the new Z10 phone like pricing and carrier availability, news about the state of the BB10 app store, a bunch of nerdy IT talk about how the new OS will fit into existing systems, and maybe some news about the forthcoming Qwerty models. Maybe a few features of the OS that haven't been shown off yet, too. We're ready to be surprised, though, since this is such an important event for RIM, and it might have a few tricks up its sleeve.
The event started at 10AM EST, and we'll be updating this post live throughout the presentation. (We just had to get through 20 minutes of commercials and cheerleading about BlackBerry.)
