We already are aware of how much RIM is pushing to make sure BB10 is a success. We also know how badly RIM needs this success, and this can be seen with everyday news popping out about some new feature or something else. We have a roundup of those for today.
Blackberry Remember, Tasks App for BB 10


Blackberry Remember is a new (the new, updated) Tasks app for BB 10. Blackberry Remember tries to do more than the original app by helping you turn your ideas into action. This is by organizing content in such a way that it is easy to know what to do next.



Additionally, the app will allow to Sync tasks with Microsoft's Outlook. Seems another handy feature.

BBM Video Chat & Screen Sharing


Leaked slides show that BBM, which recently got updated with BBM Voice allowing free calls between BBM users over Wi-Fi. Now, BBM will receive more features. This one is rather nice, Video Chat. BB users will no longer have to look for any other alternative app. It seems RIM wants Blackberry to have each and every essential feature such that dependency on external apps come down. Anyways, the Video Chat feature is pretty cool.



Apart from that, Screen Sharing is also coming in as a new feature. This could help share conversation snaps to friends (oh a mess this will create). But these features are mainly for Business users and Corporate usage. But we all know how every kid today owns a Blackberry (in our country (-_-) ).

Blackberry Playbook to get BB 10 OS and BBM next month?


RIM's Blackberry Playbook was launched with their new QNX platform, to a huge failure. The Playbook flopped. But with it's amazing price tag (later after clearance sale price drops), the Playbook was hotly sold for the excellent value it gave. QNX is not that bad, it's just not there.



Fresh news says that the Blackberry Playbook might get updated with RIM's upcoming BB 10 OS. This will be an excellent update to the Playbook, and will let RIM have a BB 10 based tablet device out already. Also, this might help them sell the Playbook again (or probably a revision, the Playbook 2 or something). Additionally, the Playbook will finally get native BBM support (up till now it worked only via bridge software). This is only amazing news for Playbook owners.
