Heins notes that you'd have to go through different apps to get all that separate information. But on BB, it's in one place. That's the benefit of the Hub, he says. The device adapts to you.
by Roger Cheng
What I want to know is why you'd want to use BBM at all when you have all the other social media platforms and e-mail, not to mention IM?
by Brian Bennett
It delivers the content that's meaningful to you. That's a strong concept, he says.

We have the aspiration to be the best keyboard experience, period, Heins says.

Bhardwaj talks about the BlackBerry typing experience on BB10.
by Roger Cheng
If you want to fire off a quick message, you can "flick" words on screen, Bhardwaj says.
by Roger Cheng
"I call it writing without typing," Heins says.
by Roger Cheng
We wanted BB Flow to delete words quickly.
by Roger Cheng
Demoing the touch keyboard now on the Z10. It does look very nice and fast...especially the flicking predictive text entry.
by Brian Bennett
You swipe down to get numbers and question marks, Bhardwaj says.
by Roger Cheng
Bhardwaj seamlessly moves between English, French and German.
by Roger Cheng
We want you to have the same experience as a physical keyboard on touch, Bhardwaj says.
by Roger Cheng
That may be true, but if I'm getting a BB, I'd prefer the physical keyboard.
by Roger Cheng
The new software keyboard seems compelling but it may demand a steep learning curve.
by Brian Bennett
Heins now talking about enterprise.
by Roger Cheng
We see people running around with two devices, Heins says.
by Roger Cheng
That's a problem we aspire to solve, he says.
by Roger Cheng
That's a segue to BlackBerry Balance.
by Roger Cheng
It's a single swipe that allows you to switch between two personalities: work and personal.
by Roger Cheng
Now talking about BlackBerry Balance...a way to split the phone software into work and play modes.
by Brian Bennett
As you go into work, everything's changed, including the apps, wallpaper, and even the BlackBerry App World store.
by Roger Cheng
You're not in and out of personal and work, Bhardwaj says. It's not split, it's part of flow.
by Roger Cheng
Work and personal apps co-exist, he says. There's a single unified experience, he adds.
by Roger Cheng
I'll have to see how this works in practice...that's one of the things I wasn't clear on before.
by Roger Cheng
So personal apps are available all the time, and work apps are only available when you switch to the corporate profile. Interesting.
by Roger Cheng
Balance will make IT departments pleased....and if it really makes personal communication private...that's a win win in my book.
by Brian Bennett
Bhardwaj: I enjoy the real-time nature on it.
by Roger Cheng
With BB10, BBM goes further, he says. You can do video calls over BBM.
by Roger Cheng
They really need to make BBM compelling since there doesn't seem to be much use for it in today's world.
by Brian Bennett
Ah, I guess this is RIM's FaceTime equivalent. Linking it to BBM is smart.
by Roger Cheng
BBM is the nice secret social network that BlackBerry owns.
by Roger Cheng
Wow, you can remotely control or view a screen from another BB10 device.
by Roger Cheng
True, this makes the service more like FaceTime and GTalk, hangouts etc.
by Brian Bennett
This is all during the BBM video chat. That's impressive.
by Roger Cheng
Great, hiding from your office just got a lot harder!
by Brian Bennett
It's a great collaboration tool for small businesses, Heins says.
