The long awaited devices from RIM, featuring its new BB10 now has a launch date: January 30th, 2013.
Tech lovers rejoice.
TIM has been the subject of plenty of conjecture in the past 24 months, and has seen its stock price dive due to tepid consumer response to its tablet foray and delays of BB10 OS, but the new devices may be just what it needs to challenge Apple, Google and Microsoft for a piece of the mobile pie.
The company had made efforts to woo developers, and is even coming out with a touchscreen device in addition to one with the iconic physical keyboard. So, it is melding some old with new and making a device that has a chance to appeal to enterprise chiefs and consumers (BB10 just earned critical FIPS badge, a key security certification that allows it to be used by US Government agencies).
