- No it wont simply because it hasnt got the screen size. Even the Note 2 is just a handy,pocket sized device. The biggest problem for the Z10 is its average 1800 mAh baterry and average battery life. This is why I want a 2100 mAh 3.1" qwerty keyboard Q10.

That's to say nothing about the philosophical problems with the dystopian vision of computing-as-a-service that companies like Microsoft dream about.
Granted, we do seem to be moving toward an era where your mobile becomes your workstation. Phones today are at least on par with (and often well above) later netbook models. Connecting a keyboard, mouse, and display to a phone to get a desktop-like experience surely isn't outside the realm of possibility. (Think back to 2006. What did a high-end desktop look like? What are we doing with desktops now that we weren't doing then?)
I've been saying that for years, long before RIM killed the PDA market. I highly doubt I'm the first, and I know that I'm not the last. It's not too difficult to see your tablet becoming little more than a battery and display. It's even easier to see your tablet become your notebook. (We're doing that now!) Why is it so difficult to imagine, then, your phone becoming your laptop? Is it such a leap to then imagine how it could become your desktop?
It's not the technology that's holding us back. We're there. That said, I'd hate to see today's mobile OS's power that vision; not even BB10. Mobile operating systems are just far too closed-off. (I blame Apple for that nasty trend. We wouldn't have put up with that nonsense from any other company, now it's standard across the board.) Maybe if there was a standard app package and API so that apps could be shared across platforms and distribution wasn't limited to a particular vendor's app store, it could meaningfully change computing. In a world filled with a loose collection of closed and otherwise locked-down platforms, however, and that dream quickly turns in to a nightmare. I'm not asking for an RMS level of freedom, I'm only asking for as much as we've had with desktops in the past. Any less is tyranny.
I'm hoping with new competing OSs like ubuntu, tizen and mozilla and their adoption by OEMs we see android take the big fall it has coming after such a fast ascent, we see HTML5 truly supported and app stores become more of an option and less seen as the holy grail to a computing platform. Closed systems tend to be failures in the longterm anyways and are engulfed by the competition, and there is plenty competition to be had. People don't stand by and just let a couple company have all the profits for long.Shanerredflag likes this.02-08-13 05:54 PMLike 1 - How Blackberry Can Win (Big) In The Mobile World:
How Blackberry Can Win (Big) In The Mobile World in [Market-Ticker]
This conversation is about replacing work desktops but our mobile devices are going to replace everything. Its just a matter of when. PCs, laptops, TVs, gaming systems. They've mostly made music players, watches, cameras aside redundant. People think its going to stop there? These markets will likely live on as high-end niche markets.
Even if the experience isnt as good as what they are replacing people adapt. I personally think the ipad is a piece of junk but millions I'm sure use it as a PC replacement. With time and as things advance the experience will be as good and then better than what they are replacing.
As per the arctile, BBs poised to be the leader. Its science!THBW likes this.02-08-13 06:14 PMLike 1 - I will try pairing my BlackBerry Bluetooth Mini-Keyboard with my BlackBerry Z10 this weekend. I can happily report the JayBirdGear BlueBuds X headphones work flawlessly with the BlackBerry Z10 when listening to music. I still have to determine if the headphones allow talking during a telephone call or if they only support audio. BBX1 for my BBZ10 running BBOS10.02-08-13 07:12 PMLike 0
- From a consumer stand point/student user and to be able to transfer files from a phone to a harddrive/flash drive/camera without a computer on the go, i would've have taught USB on the go would've been supported from the get go since Heins emphasised mobile computing. But i guess thats what the dock is for.. Rather bulky though.02-08-13 07:17 PMLike 0
- With a good amount of refinement I could see that. But I would say bb10 maybe not a z10. That being said I hardly use my computer anymore its either my 9930 or my playbook not. Been like that for about the last 2 years. So I would say possible but not for a bit. I believe apple feels like that about ios tho.bbfan1040 likes this.02-08-13 07:18 PMLike 1
- Let's say that remote technology has advanced enough that there is no need for a full desktop computer any more (pipe dream, but bear with me)
Then let's say that a site did decide to go entirely virtual or remote.
Server cost is a wipe, as are peripheral costs (would be slightly more for bluetooth, but just ignore that.)
So the price difference you're looking at is between a thin client and a smartphone.02-08-13 07:29 PMLike 0 - I can see this replacing my computer once it runs world of war craft. Not too mentioned my auto cadre renders and visual basic compilations. Uses my 3 by 25 inches monitors in hydravision. Come to think of it not a fn chance of replacing my desktop.

With just HTML5, for example, you'd also need a standard package with support across multiple platforms for the format. Even then, you'd be pretty limited in the type of app you could produce without additional API's standardized across the various phone platforms.02-08-13 10:39 PMLike 0

- I have used Citrix for years and I find it effective, fast and full featured. Granted there are a few programmes which don't run on it but they are few and highly specialised. Our IT department logs on my exclusively using Citrix and are able to fully support 90% of the issues.
Thin client hosting is the future for the majority of users, there will always be exceptions.Shanerredflag likes this.02-09-13 02:00 AMLike 1 - Again, something like HTML5 and JavaScript could only be part of a whole solution. It might help to think about things like installation and distribution.02-09-13 04:38 AMLike 0
- The way my net book runs since upgrading to W8 I'm willing to give it a try, windows Explorer keeps freezing on me and it's more or less imposibile to go back to w7 basic. W8 beta ran much better than the official pro version.02-09-13 06:30 AMLike 0
- Hahah, forgive them BThunderW most people dont know about the old mainframe computers where everyone connected to them with terminals. All you need a basic client (video out and fast network) to log into your virtual machines hosted on the cluster and let them do all the heavy lifting02-09-13 06:31 AMLike 0
- yes. but that type of thing is further out than the things blackberry needs to tackle.
1. win back handset share.
2. get a competitive tablet out.
3. leverage the qnx installed base by striking partnerships with car makers to provide connected services.
4. something else...
... and then somewhere down the list is taking on microsoft and apple in the pc/laptop space.

- Installation? off-line mode. can you not download an html5 app?. Distribution? the interent. Unless I'm missing what your saying. I thought it was the whole point of HTML5, standarized across platforms and accessible to everyone.02-09-13 12:22 PMLike 0
- BlackBerry patented a rather interesting device a few months ago. It looked exactly like a generic laptop but it had no OS. A docking station ejected out of the right side just like a CD tray and a BB10 device could be slotted in, running the "laptop". The sketches were quite fascinating and the idea intriguing.Shanerredflag likes this.02-09-13 02:27 PMLike 1
