BlackBerry 10 Preview Looks Positive 122
An anonymous reader writes "The Register has a BlackBerry 10 preview up. They say, 'BlackBerry users have a love-hate relationship with their phones. The devices were often forced upon users rather than chosen. At the same time, the handhelds were the most usable and useful communications gadgets you could put in your pocket.' The preview is surprisingly positive, and it goes on to look at BB10's Hub/notifications feature, which they call 'utilitarian' and efficient compared to Windows Phones, which are more about 'style and novelty' whilst being 'a bit limiting.' BlackBerry's implementation may actually improve the system, rather than detracting from it. With BlackBerry providing a QT environment (compatible with Sailfish, which we discussed earlier) and RIM having managed to maintain BB's 3rd place in the mobile OS market, there may a chance for real three-way competition between QT, Android and iOS in the mobile market."

Exactly. The author hasn't got a clue. Develop for Android, release on BB Android app player as well = 75%. Article is NOT WORTH READING. Author is as informed as an Angry Birds addicted High Schooler. And idiotically is saying there will be a competition between an APP FRAMEWORK and OPERATING SYSTEMS. I'm sorry but this person is clueless.
