The BlackBerry PlayBook ultimately got the ball rolling for BB10, and while it's still running its pre-BB10 QNX-based OS, we've heard that a full-on BB10 update is in its future. What about a new, BB10-from-the-ground-up tablet? Last we heard, BlackBerry was still iffy about the idea of a new tablet, but some recent comments from company executives have us reconsidering what it's really up to. CEO Thorsten Heins makes it sound like a new tablet is very far from a sure thing. He recently mentioned BlackBerry working on a few tablet designs, but said the company was still trying to work out ...

When will we get a chance to see some new BlackBerry models? And not the Q10, either – what about some new hardware that hasn't even been announced yet? While Sprint will get the Q10 along with everyone else in a couple months, the carrier has decided to opt out from selling the full touch Z10. Now a new rumor claims that Sprint will indeed offer a full touch BlackBerry, but one that's not the Z10. According to "a source familiar with the situation," Sprint will get this mystery BlackBerry phone later this year, and rather than a simple variant on Z10 hardware, it will supposedly be a ...

While most of use are still waiting for BlackBerry 10 hardware to arrive in the first place, or trying to get a solid read on sales figures in order to figure out whether or not the platform is a hit, BlackBerry's CEO has his sights well out into the future, and he recently had the opportunity to talk about what that means for lower-priced BlackBerry 10 models. Like most smartphone companies out there, BlackBerry knows that there are buckets of cash to be made in developing markets, so long as they can provide hardware at the right price points. For BlackBerry, that doesn't mean trying to ...

This time last year, it felt like everyone had made peace with BlackBerry failing, and seeing BB10 still so very far away, we were ready for it to be too little, too late. As 2012 started winding down, though, some glimmers of hope appeared, and as we approached the BB10 launch, it actually seemed like BlackBerry might just have a shot. Now that the Z10 is here, we should finally be able to tell whether or not all those expectations were correct, except that no one seems to have a solid grasp on its sales performance. Some reports, like those from Pacific Crest, indicate that after an ...

If you're lucky enough to live somewhere where the BlackBerry Z10 is already available, you're going to want to check your handset for update notifications today, upon BlackBerry announcing that the very first BB10 update is now available and going out OTA. While there's no one big feature or bugfix that highlights this release, there sure are a number of smaller tweaks and fixes. BlackBerry says that it's made 60-some tweaks to help increase device battery life, and performance should see a boost with third-party apps. The camera app should now offer better image quality in low-light ...

___ The BlackBerry Z10 isn't just another new smartphone. It's a symbol of redemption, the net result of the efforts of thousands working to salvage one of the most famous brands in the history of mobile technology. For the first time in years, "the new BlackBerry" isn't just some repackaged business phone; it's an iconic flagship on which rests the fate of the company that now shares its name. "We had to make a serious decision," BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins said at the coming-out party for its new smartphones; "adopt someone else's platform, or build a new one from the ground up. We ...

If you're looking to edit video on a computer, there's a vast selection of software out there. From Windows Movie Maker to iMovie all the way up to Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere, an endless sea of options awaits those who would cut their movies together on a desktop or a tablet. But even on the simplest of those setups, editing video represents a fair amount of work. Even iMovie requires you to bring your camera or smartphone to your computer or tablet, sync via a cable or the cloud to transfer the footage, then spend twenty to thirty minutes snipping, cropping, stretching, and zooming ...

BlackBerry fans in the US are itching for their chance to join the likes of the UK and Canada and finally get their hands on a brand new Z10 smartphone. So far, we've been hearing that March is as soon as any of the carriers will offer the device, and a leaked T-Mobile roadmap has suggested that we'd be looking more at the tail-end of March, with the Z10 scheduled to go up for sale on March 27. Now some new comments from a T-Mobile exec are making us reconsider that date, and from the sound of things the phone just might show up quite a bit earlier. Instead of March 27, T-Mobile's Frank ...
