RIM CEO Talks Up OS 6.0

Apr 26, 2010, 1:10 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Today at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium, Research In Motion CEO Mike Lazaridis provided a few details about operating system 6.0. According to RIM, the new OS is a complete overhaul of how users will interact with the BlackBerry platform. It features better integration with touch-based phones, and appears to be initially optimized for devices such as the BlackBerry Storm. There are more fluid screen transitions and RIM noted that it is designed to support both touch and trackpad products. RIM will do everything it can to make the OS backward compatible with older devices. RIM said the OS will debut in the "next calendar quarter." More details about the platform will come later this week.

Let's hope they stick to what they do best...

It's all well and good that RIM finally has realized that they need to have a world class mobile browser for their devices, but lets hope that they don't go overboard and forget that people choose their devices because of the messaging.

RIM should be working on improving the calendar, dialer and other core messaging apps along with updating the browser, so lets hope that they don't sacrifice what's great about blackberries to go chasing after the entertainment experience offered by Apple.

It would be a shame to have a repeat of the Storm. Which IMHO ended up looking like a failed attempt to offer a device squarely against the iPhone.
