RIM is putting it all on the line with BlackBerry 10, an operating system designed to go toe-to-toe with the iPhone, Android and Windows Phone. What’s new and different? BB10 sports a fresh interface that emphasizes gestures and multitasking, a completely revamped touch keyboard and a supercharged browser. But that’s only scratching the surface of what next-generation BlackBerrys will be able to do. Without further ado, these are the 10 most anticipated features of BlackBerry 10.

Flow Interface

BlackBerry 10's new interface allows to look up information seamlessly. For example, when you click on an upcoming appointment you can see who is attending and how many Twitter followers they have or check their LinkedIn profile--without having to use separate apps.

The Flow UI also makes it easy to multitask thanks to its Peek feature. With Peek, users can swipe in from the left side of the screen to reveal the BlackBerry Hub from which they can view and response to their recent messages. You can then reverse the gesture to return to your previous app.
