BlackBerry 10 dev alpha unit unveiled: 4.2-inch screen, 1280 x 768 resolution

BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha hands-on

For the calamity of errors that is Research In Motion, I still think committing to their QNX-based OS was the right move, and the BB 10 dev alpha certainly makes it look like they employ somebody who has seen a smartphone this decade, all other evidence to the contrary.

The question of course is, does anybody care anymore?

ETA: Just saw the BB10 SDK provides tools for writing apps in C/C++, Java, and HTML5. Also a step in the right direction. I've never developed a native mobile app - are those more choices than are offered for iOS/Android/MS platforms?
