RIM has officially unveiled the much anticipated BlackBerry 10 Operating System. The OS will run on upcoming BlackBerry devices which will hit stores later in the year.

The BlackBerry 10 runs on a QNX platform much like the PlayBook‘s. The company acquired QNX last year so they could make use of its technologies.

RIM also unveiled the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK with support for C/C++ and HTML5 via BlackBerry 10 WebWorks.

The new BlackBerry 10 devices will be touch only and will miss RIM‘s great physical keyboards. The company says it’s working on algorithms to learn how users type. On the upside, the keyboard on BlackBerry 10 devices work like SwiftKey’s keyboards, allowing users select predicted words as they tap letters to create sentences.

On the camera side, RIM seems to have added a bit of innovation. You can take a picture and then use a special timeline tool to move forward or backwards and select what image you need.

The UI is better imagined in this video from RIM. Looks beautiful

What do you think? Can BlackBerry 10 save RIM?
