Research In Motion gave its Blackberry 10 Dev Alpha device to more than 100 telecom carriers across the globe and several enterprises as well for testing purpose and very few of them seemed to be dissatisfied with the new software the Waterloo based company is bringing to the scene on January 30, 2013. Jason Calacanis, a veteran internet entrepreneur is one of the people, who was able to get a hands on experience of RIM’s Blackberry 10 software and it impressed him too.
The entrepreneur shared his BB10 experience in a blog post, which emerged on Tuesday, January 15, 2013. Jason opened that blog post with these words, “very, very impressed” and then illustrated the hardware of the smartphone as “a solid phone with a fantastic leathery finish,” before mentioning the details of the BB10 OS.
Jason wrote, “The task manager was awesome: you swipe up and it shows you all the windows that are open. If you swipe to the left you get your app panels (like an iPhone), but if you swipe to the right you go to a super-slick integration of messages, contacts and calendar. It has the same thoughtfulness of the Blackberry’s shortcut keys, which is to say if you learn it (i.e., you become a power user) you’re going to be able to get through data and tasks really fast.”
He also penned that:
“This feels like RIMM has caught up to 2012—which is saying a lot. This thing with a keyboard (and I understand there is a model with one) is going to be a big hit. There will be no reason to leave the BB ecosystem after this comes out. Which is to say, they should have had this out two years ago and they would have been fine.”
Besides mentioning the details of both hardware and software of BB10, Jason also noted that BB10 perhaps take away market share from iOS “if it is aggressively priced.” He also believe that it cannot eat into the market share of Android, “On the consumer side no, but on the business side, yes.”
