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. Feb 06, 2013 BlackBerry Dev Alpha C, with QWERTY keyboard, released. Back in the old days, when BlackBerry was RIM and no one knew how well BlackBerry 10 would go over, the Canadian manufacturer wanted to make sure that developers loaded up BlackBerry World with enough apps to keep buyers interested in the platform. BlackBerry 10 is a proprietary mobile operating system for the BlackBerry line of smartphones, both developed by BlackBerry Limited (formerly Research In Motion). BlackBerry 10 is based on QNX, a Unix-like operating system that was originally developed by QNX Software Systems until the company was acquired by BlackBerry in April 2010. Boot camp makes my mac hot. Platform Choice. BlackBerry is an open platform that provides a variety of development languages and runtimes designed to fit your skills. Your choice will be based on a combination of familiarity, possibly having a pre-existing codebase as well as the target devices you wish to serve.
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.
