You have to give the BlackBerry CEO some credit. He recently was quoted saying that the iPhone, although it paved the way, is now old. He is either out of touch with reality or really confident in his product. We think he is just trying to steal some thunder from Samsung, who is giving Apple a real run for its money. After all, we all know it was BlackBerry who sat on their thumb as iOS and Android took them down. Frankly, this had better be good because BlackBerry will be dead if the Z10 launch fails.


“Apple did a fantastic job in bringing touch devices to market, they did a fantastic job with the user interface” Heins told The Australian Financial Review as the Z10 made its debut down under, but argued that “the rate of innovation is so high in our industry that if you don’t innovate … you can be replaced pretty quickly.” That’s something Apple should fear, Heins argues.

“The user interface on the iPhone, with all due respect for what this invention was all about is now five years old” he concluded. In contrast, Heins claimed, BlackBerry 10 is better at multi-tasking than Apple’s phone.

Here is one of many videos on the web, this one featuring the iPhone 5 vs. the BlackBerry Z10. So far I am reading about buggy, but very good software, and great email but this side by side video shows that they had the 5 years they mentioned to do it better and still fell short of that “5 year old” phone.



Not all good news but in 4 days we shall see how it does. I don't know anyone waiting in line for it.....
