Wel, well! - update 10.3.2.2876 downloaded today.
Wasn't expecting this, but welcome anyway as a sign that OS development has not completely seized up. Coming soon after Chen's pep talk, it was indeed a pleasant surprise. OS version 10.3.2.2876, Radio 10.3.2.2877 received OTA from EE in the UK. Not had a chance to see what the changes are yet, but hope this is a welcome heads-up to all BB10 faithful.:)
As an aside I thought Chen's position on aligning BB to the IOT is a sign that Blackberry has a long future ahead of it. Growth from this new & exciting area could, and should, fund and keep alive the possibility of future developments in OS & mobiles. Security (with all the apps you could desire) is the buzzword that could make an impression in the saturated mobile market.;)
