RIM announces BB10 launch event for January 30th RIM has announced an official BlackBerry 10 event for January 30th.
The company will launch the long-delayed mobile operating system on that day, says CEO Thorsten Heins, with the launch being a global one.

Heins will introduce the OS and finally announce release dates for their new hardware, as well.

Says the CEO: "In building BlackBerry 10, we set out to create a truly unique mobile computing experience that constantly adapts to your needs. Our team has been working tirelessly to bring our customers innovative features combined with a best in class browser, a rich application ecosystem, and cutting-edge multimedia capabilities. All of this will be integrated into a user experience – the BlackBerry Flow – that is unlike any smartphone on the market today.

Thanks to our strong partnerships with global carriers and a growing ecosystem of developers, we believe our customers will have the best experience possible with BlackBerry 10. We are looking forward to getting BlackBerry 10 in the hands of our customers around the world."

if BB10 cannot show some good productivity features, i am sure RIM is gonna die. this is probably last opportunity for RIM since other OSs are proved to be (excellent) toys with little productivity.

I think RIM is already going to inevitably die......this seems to be a last ditch effort.

No one really wants their stuff.

oh well, i don't think so. BB still has some features liked by many people; this is why BB still sells to the corporates. with BB10, if they can show business productivity, they may be winner. iOS/android/winRT devices are still toys since they don't even have a good office app.

LOL maybe Palm will come out with a new OS too.

To have a chance at all, BB10 would have to be at the very least as good as iOS or Android - which I doubt will happen.

Realistically, it will have to be BETTER than those OSs if Blackberry hopes to take back market share. I seriously doubt that will happen.
