  • BlackBerry Remember is a new application -- it's about bringing content together.

  • Bhardwaj now rocking the Q10 keyboard phone.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Checking out the Q10 now. I wonder how it'll mesh with BB10?

  • You can add a note, a due date, a voice note, etc. in Remember.

  • The keyboard does universal search, very handy.
    by Brian Bennett
  • You can also flag e-mails, docs, and browser bookmarks and move them to a specific folder. It's a single source for content on a specific topic.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Evernote is integrated into Remember too.

  • Nice, I like how BlackBerry Remember syncs with Evernote. Without it I'd be a mess!

  • Bhardwaj takes a photo of Heins to demo the camera. BlackBerry TimeShift allows you to capture a moment to move the photo or edit it using additional shots taken before and after.

  • Samsung and Nokia both have this feature in their phones already.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Talking about the camera now. Having a truly advanced camera is mandatory for today's handsets.

  • The phone has a built-in picture editor. You can use gestures to add effects and filters.
    by Roger Cheng
  • You can do free transform and crop with your fingers.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Heins notes that Bhardwaj never switched to another app while doing all of that.
    by Roger Cheng
  • BlackBerry users not only live stories, but we create them, Bhardwaj says.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Wow, having an easy way to edit photos on the fly is a real boon. I'd love to try that feature.
    by Brian Bennett
  • Now BlackBerry Storymaker.
    by Roger Cheng
  • It allows you to create content, choosing pictures and videos, as well as adding music, titles, credits and date. BB automatically brings it all together with effects and transitions.
    by Roger Cheng
  • You can save and share this.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Interesting...there are a lot of iOS and Android apps that do this now, but it's not built in like BB10.
    by Roger Cheng
  • So it looks like you can use this to create slideshows and video, stitching them together.
    by Brian Bennett
  • Today looks like a "sell on the news" day, with the stock down nearly 6 percent right now. It was down 12 percent going into today.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Okay, Bhardwaj is off stage.
    by Roger Cheng
  • "This is the new BlackBerry," Heins announces.
    by Roger Cheng
  • We've been working with more leading application partners, Heins says.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Eight major studios, and major music labels have signed on to BlackBerry World, he says.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Now we're talking about apps.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Hmmm, these "new" features seem very familiar and already available on other smartphone platforms.
    by Brian Bennett
  • Martyn Mallick, VP of global alliances and business development, is on stage.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Mallick thanks the partners to make it a huge success out of the gate.
    by Roger Cheng
  • Many people didn't believe we could create a BB with good app experience, but we did, he says.
    by Roger Cheng
  • I can say with absolute confidence that decision to build a platform with developers has paid off.
    by Roger Cheng
  • That's Mallick, not me.
    by Roger Cheng
  • BB10 is launching with more than 70,000 applications available for the platform.
    by Roger Cheng
  • With the momentum we've built, we'll see thousands of apps added each week, he says.
