The Waterloo, Ontario-based company found itself lacking for answers with companies like Apple and Google encroaching its space. RIM hopes its BlackBerry 10 platform will help it reinvent the smartphone as well as the company's future. BlackBerry 10 is based on QNX, the in-car entertainment operating system that RIM bought in April, 2009. The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, which was launched last year, is based on the QNX platform and should give a good idea of BlackBerry 10's UI, which is also based on swipes and offers interesting multi-tasking options.

First photo shot using incoming BlackBerry Z10 found on Flickr

It looks like @evleaks is having a field day. After posting the HTC M7 render, the prolific leakster now posted an image shot which he alleges is from the BlackBerry Z10. The image seems to have been taken on a beach, but the image quality in itself seems to be very impressive. We also do notice a weird spot on the left side of the image, which could be a result of some editing, so judging the image purely on the basis of this image can be a bit tricky.
