RIM launches invitation-only BlackBerry 10 evaluation program
It seems that BlackBerry 10 is on track for an early 2013 release. RIM today announced the launch of a BlackBerry 10 Technical Preview program for 120 select customers.
Organizations participating in the BlackBerry 10 Technical Preview are being given early access to the new BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 enterprise mobility management platform, as well as a limited number of pre-production BlackBerry 10 smartphones. The beta will give these 120 organizations a chance to explore the features and benefits of BlackBerry 10, and provide valuable real-world feedback RIM can use to work out any remaining hiccups before BlackBerry 10 becomes available to the general public.
120 select customers will get an early look at BlackBerry 10 smartphones
The BlackBerry 10 Technical Preview participants span a variety of industries including financial, healthcare, government, insurance, media, manufacturing and more. The lineup of beta testers includes 64 Fortune 500 corporations.
Customers participating in the program will be able to get some first-hand exposure to the new platform, and begin to play with some of the new features and capabilities to understand how to use them effectively. Hopefully the BlackBerry 10 Technical Preview, and the launch of BlackBerry 10 itself go smoothly. It’s not overly dramatic to say the future of RIM itself could be riding on the success of BlackBerry 10.
