RIM Announces BlackBerry 7 OS

Posted by Soulskill on from the damage-control dept.

adeelarshad82 writes "RIM announced two new BlackBerry phones with high-res touchscreens, 1.2GHz processors and a new OS that offers better graphics than BlackBerries had before. The new BlackBerry 7 OS brings the 'liquid graphics' ability and offers '60 frames per second performance with instant UI action/response.' What's unfortunate about the new OS is that rather than being entirely new, BlackBerry 7 is just an upgrade to the existing BlackBerry 6 OS."

    What the heck is this?
    Lemmings?
    Hardly. More like "free" is better than having to pay $200 to get windows. A linux Live CD is also a great way to recover files off the c: drive after windows becomes hosed, and no longer boots (like my current P3 laptop). Some linuxes, like puppy, run in only 0.06 gig of RAM so no need to waste money upgrading perfectly-good hardware.
