Research In Motion’s new chief executive has unveiled a prototype for its new operating system on which the company has pinned its future.

Thorsten Heins, who took the CEO job in January, revealed some BlackBerry 10 features at the company’s BlackBerry World conference in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday. He provided no update on a launch date.

The once iconic company has had difficulty competing with flashier, consumer-oriented phones such as Apple’s iPhone and models that run Google’s Android software.

RIM’s stock fell 33 cents, or 2.3 per cent, to $13.98 in morning trading on the Nasdaq.

what they now and then fail to understand is the dramatically changing orientation of the
smart phone buyers, they need to conduct a thorough study of the market before scrambling
up to something what is not required.
