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.
Yes, BlackBerry, the company formally known as RIM, demonstrated today that it can still build a quality device, and Alicia Keyes proved that shes equally classy as she is drop-dead gorgeous. Yet BlackBerry forgot to bring something critical to todays global party.
Granted, the Z10 is a slick looking smartphone. At $199 (on Verizon) its priced competitively. Theres 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 theres 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 theres one glaring omission:
Innovation.
