BlackBerry Z30
The BlackBerry Z30 was announced a few hours ago during a rather mysterious event in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. That was sort of expected, given that we've been seeing Z30-related leaks growing both in intensity and plausibility during the last few months, which signaled that the phone that some of you know as the Aristo was approaching. Well, the wait is now officially over and here's what BlackBerry has in store for us.

A savior?
Could the Z30 save BlackBerry? I don't think it matters. Assuming that the Wall Street Journal is right and the company is in fact up for sale, it has to remain a going concern while it's on the market, and that means putting out new phones and trying to swing for the fences.
But it's hard to see how the Z30 will change the company's fortunes in a major way, if the Z10 and Q10 haven't done it. The BlackBerry 10 platform can't match Android or iOS on prominent apps, and was recently hit by the report that one-third of the apps available - a full 48,000 - come from one developer alone.
