They'd really have to do something unique and better to make even a small dent in the consumer space. That video made it look like a second tier android device. I can't see how that would sell.

They're only hope as a company is keeping relevant in the corporate space, and the biggest obstacle to that is convincing everyone they are going to stick around. I know my organization is giving up on them due to the fear of them becoming unviable, and we are traditionally pretty slow to adjust to these kind of things. Add to that the complication of having a new bes or bds or whatever to support bb10 that won't support older versions, and I'd have to think most companies will say why bother with a new bb infrastructure that we don't even know will survive, and see that as an opportunity to go in a different direction.

I have a hard time imagining a way rim survives into 2014.
