BlackBerry unveiled the new BB10 OS along with their new smartphone Z10 back in January. BlackBerry 10 has some very cool and exciting features like Time Shift Camera, BlackBerry Flow, the BlackBerry 10 Keyboard and the new BlackBerry Hub. While the reviews of BB10 and Z10 were not promising, the sales figures of the new OS is also not very promising.

You will be walked through basic gestures for navigating the OS, using the Hub, the predictive keyboard, BBM Video and Screen Share, and the camera’s Time Shift feature. You cannot use the glimpse of your own, but you need to follow the arrows and dots to help you navigate.
