Blackberry 6 OS Demo

Looks like Blackberry is coming to step up their game and not get left behind Android and iOS 4 with a new video showing a preview of Blackberry 6 OS. Does RIM look to be cooking up a winner in Canada and will compete in this highly competitive OS market?  Read on inside to watch the video and more.

From what it looks like RIM really wants to step it up in the visual department with Blackberry 6 as the UI has a much richer look. The media controls have been updated with a better interface. What seems to be the main focus is all about social networking and communication (like all phones these days)  as it shows united social media streams with Twitter, Facebook, Blackberry Messenger and RSS feeds all in one unified interface with the ability to post one update to all services.  The browser looks to have caught up with the rest and improved to a more full desktop browser experience.

We will have to wait and see how this all pans out.  From what it looks like the interface is more touch friendly and more focused on the Blackberry Storm type device rather than a traditional blackberry.  Hopefully for RIM Blackberry can come in and be a contender in the mobile OS game as step up from being a low cost entry or enterprise option to a more streamline and causal option with rich interface, features and apps.  But with the mobile OS market dominated by Apple and Google and with Windows Phone 7 coming around the corner will RIM and Blackberry 6 be able to grab app developers and the consumers to make a splash?
