 This is Dante with The Verge and today we finally got to see a bit more of BlackBerry 10 on the BlackBerry 10 dev alpha device. It's still very frustratingly little that we've seen, but it's the same operating system that we got our first look at at BlackBerry World in Orlando last month. It's the same four widgets on the front page and you have Peak so you can swipe in from the right side and go into your previous used app and go through email threads like that. We got our most in-depth look at the keyboard in BlackBerry 10. It's still just in alpha. We're not sure how far along the keyboard itself is, but in case you didn't catch it at BlackBerry World, it has a predictive type system. So for example, if you say, I will be there, you type in the T in there and it will know that you want to say there or it will guess that you want to say there. And you just do a quick swipe in from T up to the top of the screen and it'll pop that letter, that word in there. It's a pretty intuitive system. All the gestures make sense. You swipe back on the backspace key to delete the last word. In order to do caps lock, you hold down the shift key and you swipe up a little bit as a little toggle. And to choose between different symbols, there's a symbols key as we've seen on most keyboards around and you have two different options there for more symbols if you want them. Overall, I would say that the predictive type system is, it's supposed to learn the more you use the system. Over time BlackBerry tells us or RIM tells us that it'll learn the phrases that you typically use and you should be able to type out text messages much quicker. It's a complicated system in that it's two different ways of thinking. When you usually type, you're telling the device what you want to say and you're typing in each letter to get exactly what you want to say. When using this system, it usually guesses something that's close to what you want to say and it's like a decision. Do you want to use their words or do you want to use your own words? We'll obviously need to take a closer look at all that when we get more time with BlackBerry 10, but for now this is a quick preview of the keyboard.
