As many of you were likely following along in the news yesterday, the new BlackBerry 10 has been revealed by BlackBerry (formerly known as RIM but with unveiling of the new BlackBerry 10 also came the company name change from RIM to BlackBerry). Personally, this excites me. I have always been impressed by this Canadian company and their product's success. However, being an iPhone user myself I have also been waiting for BlackBerry to come out with something that will convince me to convert to a BlackBerry user. And I think this new BlackBerry 10 almost has me convinced...

Here are some pro's and con's to the new BlackBerry 10 as I see it:

Pro's
- Canadian made (Go Canada!)
- sleek new design is pretty attractive
- BlackBerry's have always been very practical and secure in the business world. As a new small business owner this intrigues me quite a bit, working alongside BlackBerry to convince me to swtich to their product
- BBM, or is this becoming a thing of the past? Either way, I have only every heard positive things about BBM and how great BlackBerry functions Internationally

Con's 
- Apps, I know the new BlackBerry 10 is boasting much more accessibliity to Apps, but I'm sorry...it just doesn't company to Apple quite yet
- functionality, I'll admit I was quite intrigued by the new functionality of the BlackBerry 10, definitely appealing to the multitasker in me. However, it just does not compare to the ease-of-use found in an Apple product quite yet

I guess we are just going to have to wait until more people can get their hands on this new BlackBerry 10 before we really know how great it is. But I would say it is definitely a step in the right direction convincing me to become a BlackBerry user.
