 Hi, this is Dieter Bohn for The Verge and we are looking at the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha developer prototype. This of course is the device that RIM is handing out to all of the developers here at the BlackBerry Jam conference. And as you can see it looks exactly like a miniature playbook. The industrial design is very much the same. The specs on it are also virtually identical. It has a 4.2 inch screen and it's running the Playbook 2.1 OS, slightly modified to support the APIs and developer hooks for BlackBerry 10. But honestly there's no apps on here by default. There's just the browser, the camera and a setup app. In terms of capabilities of hardware, the only new additions are the mobile networking. It runs on HSPA+, which in the menu bar they call 4G, which is hilarious and a little bit sad. And then the other addition is NFC and we expect that we'll be seeing a lot more to NFC and BlackBerry 10 in the near future. Other than that it's a very simple bare bones device. It's simply meant for developers to be able to load their apps and test them for BlackBerry 10. However, just like the original Playbook, the developer Alpha device is able to run Android apps with the Android runtime. And so you can see here this developer has loaded up a bunch of Android apps. And we can take a look at the performance here. We'll load up Angry Birds. Give it a moment to load. And it does take a bit to load here, but it is running on the Android runtime on top of Playbook. But, get it going. So that's the BlackBerry dev Alpha. It's never going to see consumer release. It's only for developers. But it's pretty powerful. It's about the same specs as the Playbook. And hopefully it will get a lot of developers to make BlackBerry 10 apps.
 Hi, this is Dieter Bohn for The Verge and we are looking at the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha
 developer prototype.
 This of course is the device that RIM is handing out to all of the developers here at the BlackBerry
 Jam conference.
 And as you can see it looks exactly like a miniature playbook.
 The industrial design is very much the same.
 The specs on it are also virtually identical.
 It has a 4.2 inch screen and it's running the Playbook 2.1 OS, slightly modified to
 support the APIs and developer hooks for BlackBerry 10.
 But honestly there's no apps on here by default.
 There's just the browser, the camera and a setup app.
 In terms of capabilities of hardware, the only new additions are the mobile networking.
 It runs on HSPA+, which in the menu bar they call 4G, which is hilarious and a little bit
 sad.
 And then the other addition is NFC and we expect that we'll be seeing a lot more to
 NFC and BlackBerry 10 in the near future.
 Other than that it's a very simple bare bones device.
 It's simply meant for developers to be able to load their apps and test them for BlackBerry
 10.
 However, just like the original Playbook, the developer Alpha device is able to run
 Android apps with the Android runtime.
 And so you can see here this developer has loaded up a bunch of Android apps.
 And we can take a look at the performance here.
 We'll load up Angry Birds.
 Give it a moment to load.
 And it does take a bit to load here, but it is running on the Android runtime on top of
 Playbook.
 But, get it going.
 So that's the BlackBerry dev Alpha.
 It's never going to see consumer release.
 It's only for developers.
 But it's pretty powerful.
 It's about the same specs as the Playbook.
 And hopefully it will get a lot of developers to make BlackBerry 10 apps.
