Canadian firm Research in Motion (RIM) is pretty bullish about
the chances of its upcoming, and it hopes company-saving,
operating system BlackBerry 10.  RIM CEO Thorsten Heins took to
the stage at the firm's Jam Americas event in San Jose
California yesterday to declare that the delayed BB10 can topple
Windows Phone 8 and claim third place in the mobile OS rankings.
I am SpartaBerry!  During Heins' keynote presentation yesterday,
the BlackBerry boss revealed more new features for the BB10
platform, with the first devices running the new software due to
arrive in January 2013.  Heins was quizzed on why RIM wasn't
aiming for top spot in the mobile market, instead settling for
third, to which he responded: "you climb a mountain step by
step."  However could it all be too late for RIM, as Windows
Phone 8 will have a couple of months' head start with devices
expected to land in early November, and customers may not want
to wait until after Christmas before upgrading their phone.
