Research in Motion launches BlackBerry 10, changes corporate name

RIM CEO Thorsten Heins took to the stage to unveil the Blackberry 10's final features and the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10, which will be the first to run exclusively on the BB10 OS. Besides, Heins also announced that RIM is changing its name from "Research in Motion" to "BlackBerry.", with a vision of "One Brand, One Promise". According to CNBC, the new Nasdaq ticker symbol will be "BBRY".

BlackBerry 10 OS is one of the biggest launches by Blackberry. BB10 has a feature called Balance, which is geared toward professionals who use their devices for personal use and work by using swipe gestures to switch between "work" and "personal" profiles. RIM boasts that businesses can keep data secure without forcing employees to carry two mobile devices.

BB10 launches with over 70,000 applications, including Skype, Amazon Kindle and WhatsApp. BlackBerry Messenger also gets a big update. The chat client now offers video chatting and BBM Screen Share - a feature that lets users share their entire screens over BBM.

BlackBerry Flow was also unveiled. The feature allows users to move seamlessly between apps by using swipe gestures instead of a home button.
