Research in Motion kicked off its annual BlackBerry World conference with the unveiling of its latest BlackBerry 7 operating system, which will ship on the company's new RIM BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Bold 9930.
RIM says its revamped mobile platform is a "performance driven" platform and promises easier navigation through its "Liquid Graphics" interface, as well as faster, richer graphics performance and browsing. The latter is enabled by a revamped BlackBerry browser that includes a just-in-time Javascript compiler and HTML 5 video support.
BlackBerry 7 OS also brings support for new technologies, including NFC (Near Field Communication) and augmented reality applications. Voice-enabled search and 720p HD video recording also make their debut on the new OS.
The new Bolds and BlackBerry 7 OS will launch this summer, but RIM did not say whether older BlackBerry devices will be upgradeable to the new platform. We hope to hear more details as BlackBerry World 2011 gets underway, and we'll keep you updated on the latest news coming out from the conference.
