Computer store news RIM held a press conference yesterday, in addition to releasing a new version of BlackBerry 10 system and a developer preview device to the public, RIM CEO Thorsten Heins also talked about the future of BlackBerry 10. He believes that BlackBerry 10 has the opportunity to beat Windows Phone 8, becoming the third largest operating system platform beyond Android and iOS.

We have a clear goal and confidence in becoming the third in the market. We will not only become ‘ another platform & rsquo;, we must have our own status and become BlackBerry .

Heins said: "I know that we need more confidence and chips to succeed." He pointed out some of the unique aspects of BB 10, including the BlackBerry HUB and the new multi-tasking collaborative UI, which will make BB 10 more competitive.
