    Here's a preview of Blackberry's upcoming Blackberry 10 Smartphone OS. It's supposed to come in Q3 later this year. It's a pretty short video.

    After the title you can see a Blackberry 10 device that looks a lot like a Nokia N800 Internet Tablet.

    10 seconds: you can see that there's a 'universal everything box' which displays calendar entries and emails on one screen. Viewing an email does not take you out of the screen - rather the email comes out from the side of the screen.

    19 seconds: someone calls. You can swipe down to answer, up to hang up.

    21 seconds: There's a new on-screen keyboard. It looks like there is work prediction that lets you complete the word. The twist here is that the words are scattered throughout the keyboard. It looks cool but I can't imagine that this will work well.

    36 seconds: A video is being watched on the device - later it shows up on a TV. You can do this with DLNA now on many other devices though I'm not sure if you can do it while the video is being played.

    I like what I see so far but it's going to take RIM more than a slick OS to succeed. Just ask Palm.

    What do you think? Excited? ...
