- Do you think that all GUI elements are vector graphics? Sorry. They are not. Icons, logos, images, etc are not vector graphics. Can you show me a single BB10 app that uses 100 percent vector graphics? If you can't, then you fail to understand the issue.
Since you know so much, what image formats does Cascades supports. How many of them are vector formats?07-13-13 02:06 AMLike 0 -
The bottom part makes it so the swipes and gestures are easier to do with your thumb.07-13-13 02:31 AMLike 0 -
You also don't seem to understand how 9-slice SCALING works.
Only the corners are not stretchered. Almost everything else is stretched in one or two ways. It takes the correct image not to be distorted. You can't take a photograph and use 9-slice on it without affecting how it looks.
P.S. You still haven't answered what vector formats are support in Cascades. You seem to know all about vector graphics and Cascades, why don't you simply answer the question?07-13-13 06:35 AMLike 0 -

Also let's be fair here, your theoretical pixelation due to devs not adapting would actually be hidden by the higher dpi. 720p to 1080p is a 1.5x inflation, yet the screen would only jump less that 1.2x so the result could actually balance itself out.
Bottom line though is that BlackBerry have had in their dev documentation since the playbook that a scaleable design is the best to have, so your issues seem to be not only theoretical but also overblown.
Posted via CB1007-13-13 07:22 AMLike 0 - I found it funny everyones argument contains android devices. Why is apple and Microsoft can not release 1080p devices, yet BlackBerry has to. I don't understand that logic, why join a race 1. You can't win 2. BlackBerry doesn't need to.
Androids in a spec race with there own oems, apple, Microsoft, BlackBerry, and even Google(moto X, maybe) all know this, look at there current and up coming phones being released.

Second, BB needs to make a competitive device if they want to win over new users and get some of the old ones back. There's nothing wrong with them being third for awhile, but it needs to be a relevant third place.
Take a BBOS 7 user (like I was), who goes to upgrade. They already know that with a Z10 they are going to have to side load a few Android apps (apps that are used daily on BBOS 7), and those apps may not work. They're okay with that, but when they get to the store and are handling a Z10, they see an HTC One nearby. No side loading required, all apps that are needed will work, and it walks all over the Z10 in every way. But here's the kicker, they both sell at the same price ! Easy decision.
I understand that it's more than just resolution that makes a pretty screen. I have the phone with the best screen on the market. It's also happens to be a 1920x1080. If BB is going to sell a second tier device, have it dependent on Android, and then sell it at a tier one Android device price, please, tell me again, "Why the hell should I buy it "?
A10 needs to be a tier one device for BB to have a chance at remaining relevant in today's market.07-13-13 08:43 AMLike 0 -

why ask? check my signature or even just search me in BB World and you`ll have the answer. Maybe you should share with us your apps you`ve made?07-13-13 09:54 AMLike 0 - Bottom line is people here seem to be making all the excuses under the sun of why not to use 1080p while missing the one thing. its what consumers are buying.kevinnugent likes this.07-13-13 10:03 AMLike 1
- not really as my assertion that you wouldn't notice much would only happen in the instance of apps that aren't updated, and as any good dev would update their app to the new res then your argument would only apply to a subset of apps that even the dev doesn't care about anymore.

I will show my new app when it is completed.
It contains BBM integration, location services, web services, remote and local databases, local and remote calendar integration, both native and custom mapping to name some of the main integrations.07-13-13 10:04 AMLike 0 -
OH wait. The excuse is that Apple customers are buying for the ecosystem. So it really isn't about 1080p. The excuse is that WP8 customers are using it for integration with the Windows platform. So it really isn't about 1080p. So many excuses for customer that are NOT buying 1080p phones.07-13-13 10:08 AMLike 0 - I see cute apps that are very simple kinda like the sample apps that BB gives out. I have said in the past, that I could make simple apps using nothing but basic controls that would scale. When you are making more complicated apps, you realize how much work they will be changing them to match other resolutions.
I will show my new app when it is completed.07-13-13 10:19 AMLike 0 -
- Guys you've got it wrong with the screen resolution. A Czech BlackBerry fan portal also showed this news from bgr but they also mention that they have it confirmed from a reliable source that it will be a 1080p display one of the best available on the market.

I was even told by a high up BB exec (I aint saying who) that their research indicated that people who had spent several thousand dollars would most likely never move from that ecosystem due to their being bought into it. its very common sense that if iv bought a load of apps and maybe a car docking system, maybe a home hifi with a ipod connector etc that im far more tied into that device. an ecosystem doesn't just mean apps but accessories too. And that's before you even want to think about brand loyalty.
As for Wp8, that doesn't have huge traction in the market, maybe your taking my comments a tad too literally and with no deviation just to be silly, but lets look at the hard facts here, lets focus purely on the SGS4, forget any other android device, purely the S4. That sold 10 MILLION devices in 26 days. that's one phone. now lets look at nokia, in Q1 this year? 5.6m Lumias. looks a tad below the S4 eh, and BB10? 3.7m in 4 months.
Maybe I should remake the statement for those that want to take every single little word totally literally and not as a sweeping generalisation.
With the exception of Apple iPhones, 1080p phones are selling the most.07-13-13 10:34 AMLike 0 - Guys you've got it wrong with the screen resolution.

Posted via CB1007-13-13 10:47 AMLike 0 - Or you could just say that top end phones with 5 inch screens going into this Fall will have 1080p screen resolutions. If the A10 does not have a competitive spec screen, but tries to command a comparable price to those that have 1080p, then it will fail. If Blackberry doesn't want to try and compete it doesn't have to, and potential Blackberry consumers will vote with their hard earned cash and buy the best spec phone they can for their cash. The screen spec is massively important in a smartphone as it's right in front of our eyes all the time.07-13-13 10:49 AMLike 0
