What BlackBerry is missing

***************************************EXCERPT***************************************

Nothing announced or demo-ed today in New York by CEO Thornsten Heins and his team suggested this was a company looking to upend a market it once helped create.

Is good enough, good enough? BlackBerry CEO Thornsten Heins unveils the Z10 and N10 smartphones.

Yes, BlackBerry, the company formally known as RIM, demonstrated today that it can still build a quality device, and Alicia Keyes proved that she’s equally classy as she is drop-dead gorgeous. Yet BlackBerry forgot to bring something critical to today’s global party.

Granted, the Z10 is a slick looking smartphone. At $199 (on Verizon) it’s priced competitively. There’s plenty of apps at launch. Head of developer relations Alec Saunders said that the new BlackBerry World store features ”the largest catalog of apps for a first-generation mobile platform.” And there’s some solid features (Flow, Peak, Hub) in the new touch-based BlackBerry 10 operating system. Clearly the company has its eyes set on Apple (iOS) and Google (Android).

But there’s one glaring omission:

Innovation.
