The goal is to keep blackberry users from switching to android and stop the hemorraghing. Then they can worry about getting customers back.

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm hoping above is an isolated case? Otherwise creating any content that can easily be made fun of is really bad for the launch as it will create noise and distract from the good.
There were many other cases. One of the money quotes: "Typing on a glass screen with one thumb. Magic." Hah. BB10 may be a very nice OS, but the company attitude is absolutely miserable. They're still pretending that they're innovating at the very cutting edges of the market while introducing features almost 6 or 7 years old. It's silly.
I don't agree with you on the magical one thumb experience. I don't feel that my Android and iOS devices allow me to navigate that smoothly throughout my content, social networks and applications in general. The keyboard and the one thumb mode was also very impressive.

#15This looks interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9TSHk3Oed0 Not sure how practical it will and if it can be used when using the flash.
Very clever. Seems like it would be pretty good for getting rid of blinks.

Oh really? Hm. Well, maybe I'm bashing their marketing too early. But I've been typing with one thumb on iOS and Android for like 4 years and have been pretty well satisfied. It could be improved I'm sure, and maybe BB has improved it. But whatever they've done, calling it 'Magic' makes me laugh.

#17Having developed for BB before, I cannot tell how bad their toolchain and libraries and HW/SW protocol layers are. I highly doubt that they can fix all these in one big fat major release. Considering the fact that RIM is bleeding, this may be their one and only chance though. Good luck RIM, it is always good to have more options in the market...
Can't you just develop an Android app now and repackage it for the BB10? Is it that easy or have I heard wrong?
Yes, and they'll pay you per app AND they are doing a revenue guarantee for the year above a download threshold I believe.

But this is a whole new UI for blackberry.
That means they're employees / customers would have to learn a new ui regardless.
While there is already a large possibility that they are already using an Android or iPhone at home.

#20FYI there is no company named "Research In Motion" anymore. They've changed their name to Blackberry.
