A big week for Blackberry enthusiasts and the BB10 launch event (I’m still not holding my breath on this actually reviving the ailing smartphone maker!) The company has unveiled the latest platform and some new devices to tease you with… hey, they’ve even announced that Alicia Keys is the official “Creative Director” for Blackberry – whatever that means!

RIM has lost loads of marketshare over the years and winning these customers back is going to be a giant task for them.
