BlackBerry 10 new Features
BlackBerry Hub
BlackBerry Hub gathers all of your messages and notifications into one
convenient location. Receive and respond to email, text messages, social
networking messages, BBM chats, and instant messages. With a single swipe from
any screen, you can peek at your notifications, peek further into BlackBerry
Hub to see your messages, or peek at your upcoming meetings and events. You can
easily filter the types of messages that appear.
BlackBerry Keyboard
The BlackBerry Keyboard learns how you write and it adapts to how you type.
It suggests words to help you type faster, more accurately, and with the least
amount of effort. When a suggested word appears on the keyboard, simply flick
it up onto the screen to type efficiently with just one hand. You can even type
in two or more languages at once!
BBM Video with Screen Share
Have face-to-face video conversations with your BBM contacts over HSPA+, 4G
LTE and Wi-Fi networks. Start BBM Video from the Phone or the Contacts app, or
switch from a BBM chat to a BBM Video conversation, by simply tapping an icon.
You can even share your screen with your contact by tapping an icon, and show
your photos or presentations while you continue talking.
Camera and Time Shift mode
Your BlackBerry device has front and rear cameras for taking high
resolution pictures and recording HD videos. You can open the camera from the
home screen, and take a picture or record a video quickly by tapping anywhere
on the screen. Time Shift mode captures several milliseconds before and after
your picture, so you can pinpoint the best frames to create the perfect shot.
BlackBerry Story Maker
BlackBerry Story Maker allows you to combine your pictures, videos, and
music into a stunning HD movie that you can view later and quickly share with
others. You can select a song for background music, add intro titles and end
credits, and apply themes.
BlackBerry Remember
A combination of memos and tasks, BlackBerry Remember helps you organize
your interests, ideas, and projects. You can group related photos, lists,
messages, emails, and links. Generate tasks from email messages and turn your
content into actions from anywhere on your device.
Contacts
The Contacts app contains details about the contact, updates and company
news from the contact’s social network, and events that you and the contact
have in common. You can quickly filter your contacts by using the account type
(for example, you can choose to view only BBM contacts). You can also create
favorites and use photos from social networking accounts to represent contacts.
Calendar
The Calendar app is integrated with the BlackBerry Hub, the Contacts app,
and other apps and accounts. You can filter
your calendar events for each of your social networking accounts. At a
glance, you can view the people you are meeting on a particular day. The
Calendar even suggests participants and locations, based on previous email and
meetings.
BlackBerry Browser
The new BlackBerry Browser is powerful, responsive, and super-fast. When
you're browsing and you find something you want to share, you can post it to a
social network with just a couple of gestures. You can also view webpages in
Reader mode to remove distracting clutter.
Share, stream, or display your media files
With a couple of quick taps from within your apps, you can easily share
your music, pictures, videos, documents, webpages, and contacts with others
over email, BBM, a Bluetooth connection, NFC, social networking accounts, and more.
You can also stream your media to supported devices such as computers, TVs, or
other home entertainment equipment, or use an HDMI cable to display your media
files on a TV or computer.
Picture editing
You can edit pictures directly on your device. Crop and rotate the picture,
reduce red-eye, or apply a variety of enhancements and artistic styles.
Video editing
You can edit videos directly on your device. Change the length of the
video, rotate the image, and make enhancements such as brightness and color.
Search
You can search your entire device for files, settings, apps, help, and
more. Either type your search term, or say it, from the home screen or from
within an app. You can narrow your search to include only specific apps, or
extend your search to include Internet sources.
Voice Control
The Voice Control app can make multitasking easier. You can speak your
commands and perform a variety of actions virtually hands-free. Use the Voice
Control app to send messages, make calls, book meetings, search the Internet,
post tweets, and more. Open the Voice Control app by pressing and holding the
mute button on the side of the device, or from the keyboard by tapping and
holding the microphone icon.
BlackBerry World
Discovering great apps is easier than ever with app recommendations based
on similar purchases. You can choose an app, then share it – to social sites with
a couple of gestures from within the app, or to a friend’s NFC-enabled
BlackBerry device with a tap – it’s quick and simple. BlackBerry World features
a unified storefront for apps, games, themes, music, and videos, and parental
controls that let you hide content that you don't want children to access.
NFC and Smart Tags
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that's
designed for transferring data quickly. BlackBerry Tag uses NFC technology to
exchange files (including pictures, music, contact info, and even webpages) between
your BlackBerry device and other NFC-enabled devices simply by tapping the back
of your devices together. You can also use NFC on your device to pay for items,
and to create and store Smart Tags containing URLs, phone numbers, and more
that you can share with others.
BlackBerry Balance
Take your device to the office for access to work email, apps, and data
without compromising the personal use of your device. Your personal apps and information are kept separate and
private from work data and apps. Easily switch between your work space and
personal space with a simple gesture.
