The following are the notes I wrote down while attending a Blackberry 10 demo given by RIM a couple of weeks ago. Thought it might be an interesting read for someone. Keep in mind they are just my hastily written notes while they were talking.

Blackberry Enterprise Services 10

BES 10 and Blackberry 10 handhelds not java based anymore.
New protocols are used to enable multiple devices for one user.
Fusion is currently a separate install on a separate server. With BES 10 it’s all in one, on one server.
BES 10 server and handhelds use the QNX operating system. It’s also already used by cars/vending machines/ health care equipment etc. Opens massive opportunity for application development.
Uses active sync instead of MAPI. By itself active sync is not secure. RIM has wrapped its encryption and compression around active sync.
Manages user instead of device
Different flavors of BES will be available
Basic IT policy package and additional policies available for government and finance
Will be featured at BB World May 2013
Existing handhelds cannot be upgraded to version 10 because of they use different protocols, but versions 6 & & bb’s can be added to BES 10
Playbooks will be able to be upgraded to bb10 because they have the QNX OS

Licensing

Can trade in existing licenses at no charge
Server components are a free download
Cals are completely different in BES10
IOS and android licenses need to be purchased new

Cals are per device
Support is per user

Communication: device – BES10 – ActiveSync
Similar to the communication flow that is used with MAPI

TSupport

One number to phone for all devices
RIM tech support will include support for all blackberry, iOS and android devices.
iOS and android device support will be for device management on the BES.
Support isn’t charged [per device anymore 9 – its per user and it doesn’t matter how man devices the user has.

Mobile fusion

Drag/drop Policies, Wi-Fi configuration and apps

Device Compliance

Specify what action to take if jail broken
Alerts for violations
Apps pushed out – is user reuses, shows as alert

BYOD

Secures work from personal
Will wipe only work perimeter when user leaves
Separate app worlds for personal and work
User receives password and activates, workspace is setup, and then user is asked to setup password for it.

Blackberry 10 handheld

Unified inbox hub
All messaged in one inbox, but can filter/block work. (?)
Swipe to change from work to personal space.
Different backgrounds to differentiate them
Work space shows picture of brief case
NFC charges for visa and MasterCard swiping
No buttons or keys –uses finger movements like the playbook
No separate email contacts etc icons – unified communications center (hub)
FULL Flash and HTML 5 support
Calendar – growing numbers. The busier the day, the larger the numbers
Gesture based.
