When BlackBerry 10 showed up, Thorsten Heins, CEO of RIM, hinted that video chat might be incorporated in BBM. Recently leaked images on Crackberry suggest that the CEO was right, video chat is indeed coming to BBM.
The images, which are thought to be leaked presentation slides, have by now been taken down on various sites. This just adds to the legitimacy of the screens as there’s a high probability that a strongly worded request by RIM may have led to the removal. Apart from BBM video chat, these images also depict the ability to screen share during a video call on the BB 10 platform. One of the slides also details the BB 10 task manager called “BlackBerry Remember”. The new task manager can sync with MS Outlook and may also come with Evernote integration.
Here’s the statement given by RIM in regard to these leaked slides:
“We understand that there is a lot of excitement for BlackBerry 10. We will launch the platform on January 30th and until then we won’t comment on speculation.”
Another great feature to this phone is the ability to scan barcodes of any old DVDs, CDs, or games that you have lying around the house, in order to send them off the musicMagpie.com in order to make some cash.
