Blackberry Dev Alpha C Specifications
Nov 30, 2012 Both BlackBerry Elite members and BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha A/B recipients start the tally with 200 points. The Dev Alpha C offer will run from Dec. Feb 05, 2013 We're live at BlackBerry Jam Europe where the Dev Alpha C has officially been shown off for the first time. Developers wanting to build for the BlackBerry Q10 will definitely want to check this. We've unboxed the Dev Alpha A, Dev Alpha B, but now it's time to show you the Dev Alpha C. I just received mine in the mail yesterday, and the first thing on my mind was to get out the camera and record a video showing you the joy of opening it up. Take a look at the unboxing video below.
Blackberry Dev Alpha C Specifications 2017
The prototype phase of Research In Motion's release of BlackBerry 10 is now officially a trilogy. The company just announced the Dev Alpha C, the first BlackBerry 10 device with a QWERTY keyboard.
In a blog post, RIM says it will distribute the device to developers only, producing only a 'limited number' of units. Only developers who have demonstrated that they're actually building apps for BlackBerry 10 will get the Dev Alpha C. RIM actually has a point system to determine which developers are most deserving of a unit, awarding the most points for developers who have built RIM-certified apps.
The new prototype follows the original Dev Alpha device that the company released in the spring at its annual developer conference, BlackBerry World. Then earlier this fall, RIM debuted the Dev Alpha B — an upgraded version of the original device. Both were purely touch-screen devices, though, and the Dev Alpha C is part of RIM fulfilling its promise that the company would make BB10 available for touch and QWERTY at launch.
That launch is scheduled for January 30, 2013. RIM CEO Thorsten Heins promises the new operating system will deliver 'a best in class browser, a rich application ecosystem, and cutting-edge multimedia capabilities.'
The Dev Alpha C also underscores RIM's lengthy, repeatedly extended development process for BlackBerry 10. The company first unveiled the OS publicly over a year ago, and it hasn't had new hardware since the final BlackBerry 7 devices launched around the same time.
