BlackBerry World 2012 Day One Roundup!

Kevin you're killing me! I'm trying to watch this and you're moving stuff around!! J/k I can always count on you to bring us the good stuff! Keep up the good work. Super excited about BB10.

Great coverage. Not sure where to begin there is so much to see.

My carrier in Australia is offering a 9860 with a Playbook for $49 a month... but this seems definitely worth waiting for. I might just purchase a PB outright and wait for BB10 phones. I'm currently using Windows Phone, but what's been shown at BB World really has me intrigued.

It seems as though the hottest features demoed today are licensed from Swiftkey (the keyboard) and Scalado (the camera). That's fine, I guess, but I am a little bit less excited to think that these are not RIM innovations. On the other hand, I would love to see RIM acquire those two companies. It would sort of make sense -- it is betting a lot on those companies' products, which is risky given that they are separate companies. Anyone think this may happen?

So glad to see SOO many big names saying theyre coming to BB10 ! Also im a bit frightened to see what is happening to the Playbook's app world ,Alot of good apps like ios and android but where on those two theyd be free - 1,99$ on the Playbook theyre 3,99$ - 5,99.

Also a few minutes ago i noticed Top Gear (the good ,british version) made an app for the PB which i doubt RIM would reach out to them to do, which looks like interest is in the air.

RIM; All you need for an awesome launch is Netflix ,Skpe ,Draw somethimg, Instagram those kind of MAJOR apps that teens (aside from myself, except if PB got Netflix i'd get a membership soley based i can use it on the go) want and desire on PB and BB10

Kinda sad im from Orlando and couldn't afford to attend :(

Analyst are saying BB10 failed to wow. I just think they're expecting more and its soon coming and once it launches then they'll see but like michael gartenberg said "but the key is shipping and execution"

Who says RIM is dead?!
They are there and full of life!
I love to see that and also can't wait to see a version with a physical keyboard!

Take that haters! :)

Totally looking forward to BB10 but... who uses two hands to navigate on a touch screen phone? One-handed use is superb on your average iPhone and decent on the Galaxy Nexus.

Kev :
Real happy to see that you've been to the alter, been touched by the Spirit, renewed your Faith, cast aside doubt, and emerged from the long, dark night of the soul cleansed by the fire.
By the power of BlackBerry, by the MIGHTY HAMMER OF THOR, we shall rise again to assume our rightful place atop Asgard.
Death to the infidels
Aslin is on the move.
You shall know us by the trail of dead.
Put another way : IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, SUCK IT!!

It would be a lot easier to take any of this seriously if RIM were to deliver the stuff they've already announced that was "released" month before last. Until they demonstrate they can keep their word, their word isn't worth much. Who cares what they announce? They can announce that they've perfected cold fusion, if they feel no corresponding obligation to deliver, as promised, on time.

After watching the live cast and what RIM has coming PLUS the sharpened focus of the company, I am excited for the future. I think Kevin has hit the nail on the head with his analysis of the company and loved the conclusion of the video. Great job!

Well Put Kev
