‘Great collaboration tool’
Heins highlighted the BlackBerry Hub, BlackBerry Flow, and BlackBerry Peek at the launch, innovations that provide the BB10 with a single place for managing all activities and conversations, including email, text messages, and social media, while making it easy to slide between applications without having to use home or back buttons as found on competitor devices.
The event also noted the ability of the BB10 to separate personal content from work applications and data and to provide powerful encryption and security so that users only need to have a single device for both work and play.
