Highlights of todays show...

On BlackBerry 10’s virtual keyboard you can swipe to auto-complete (instead of choosing from a list above the keyboard), while swiping downward brings up punctuation. Similarly, you can swipe left to delete an entire word. Nice.
We also heard before about switching between personal and work accounts in BlackBerry 10. It’s called BlackBerry Balance, and jumping between the two is as simple as swiping down.
Brilliantly, IT admin type folk can push stuff to your BlackBerry 10 device (including apps and updates), or even delete data, without affecting any of your personal stuff.
BlackBerry Messenger is obviously a big part of BlackBerry’s arsenal, and it’ll get full-screen video calling in BlackBerry 10.
Speaking of video calling, there’s pretty big news in the form of BlackBerry 10 getting a Skype app, something that might’ve been a deal-breaker for some.

Segregating work and play: RIM knows many of its customers are using the BlackBerry for both professional and personal reasons, and the new platform lets you segregate these two worlds — your 9 to 5 and 5 to 9, if you will — with separate screens, apps, media and services. RIM calls this BlackBerry Balance. Android offers something similar, but not as neatly or efficiently. On a related note, using your BlackBerry for work or play means you need an excellent battery, and the Z10 won’t disappoint in this department —delivering almost twice the battery life of an iPhone 5, in my testing.
