RIM internal documents leak – show more of BlackBerry 10′s OS

by 35 comments

CrackBerry got hold of some RIM internal documents, which give us a better idea of the upcoming BlackBerry 10 OS. There’s a new motion-based lockscreen, video editor and shots of the screen-sharing in action.

The new OS looks and operates very much like the Swipe UI found on the MeeGo-running Nokia N9.

Here we’ve laid out a comparison between the UI on the N9 and the one on the BB10 device from the leaked image. Looks very similar, doesn’t it? The first screen is the app launcher, a swipe to the left reveals the task manager, while a swipe to the right will take you to the unified notifications screen.

The new lockscreen of BlackBerry 10 is codenamed Cinnamon Toast and will involve some motion-based operation. Once a message comes in the screen will light up, picking the device up and tilting it slightly upwards will reveal a second row of information, while tilting it further will display the whole notification.


The new BB10 Lockscreen

BlackBerry 10 is based on QNX and features a useful screen sharing feature, which allows you to share your screen while viewing a message, email or a video call. Finally BlackBerry 10 will also feature an advanced video editor, which is a direct result of the acquisition of Swedish company JayCut. Above you see the app pictured on the PlayBook slate.

Thanks, zymo for sending this in!
