RIM shows off BB10 and a reference device.
That lovely looking device above is what RIM handed out to its developers today where the details of BB10 were revealed. Although, the phone itself has some interesting details including a nice HD display amongst others.
The main story however is the software which is BB10, which to all intents and purposes is Playbook OS for phones. Many UI elements are the same, even if they are now called Cascade UI. The pluses of BB10 are of course the HTML5 capabilities as well as slick and true multitasking amongst many others.
