Neil Gaiman has been participating in the Keep Moving projects for a while now. A Calendar Of Tales has been complete and has come to life. We told you about the videos taken of the process back in March. Be sure to watch them again from the beginning to see his process.

Recap of what A Calendar of Tales is:
Neil Gaiman asked fans around the world to help him tell a new kind of story. A few weeks, thousands of Tweets, twelve stories and a galaxy of art later, A Calendar of Tales was born.

It’s now ready for the world to see, in a beautiful digital book. Have a look, see who contributed, or watch Neil’s videos to find out more about the making of A Calendar of Tales.

A huge thank you is due to everyone who took part in this project. Your energy and imagination inspired Neil, and now, can inspire the world.

BlackBerry is now selling both the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Curve 9220 in India on EMI. This is BlackBerry’s way of getting more customers in India by making it easier to buy the devices. By having a payment plan, in this case 0 down payment, no processing fee and no interest, it will be more affordable to the masses. And this deal can be found in BlackBerry’s certified stores. Check out the Press Release below.

Press Release

India, May 23, 2013: BlackBerry today announced the introduction of new EMI Schemes, for ‘BlackBerry Z10’ and ‘BlackBerry Curve 9220’ devices in India. Customers can now buy the BlackBerry Z10 via their credit cards (Axis Bank, Citibank, HDFC bank, HSBC, ICICI Bank, Kotak, SBI Card and Standard Chartered) by paying an EMI of Rs 4799 per month for 9 months. A similar scheme for BlackBerry Curve 9220 is available where customers can use their credit card to buy the device and pay an EMI of Rs 799 per month for 12 months.

Both the schemes have the unique feature of Rs.0 down payment, 0% processing fee and 0% interest and the plan will be rolled out in 3000 BlackBerry outlets across the country by this weekend. On top of it all Idea Cellular customers can avail a full 1-year unlimited data plan at just Rs. 999/year in 8* circles. The implementation of this scheme will be facilitated and overlooked by the financing companies and the carriers will have no role in the process.

The launch of this plan reasserts BlackBerry’s commitment to make smartphone experience more accessible and affordable to the masses, especially the upwardly mobile youth. The whole proposition of availing the premium experience of BlackBerry Z10 or Curve 9220 by paying a nominal EMI per month is definitely very lucrative and will definitely attract potential customers.

*List of 8 circles: Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh

BlackBerry has posted the following information on their BlackBerry Dev Blog:

For those developers who’ve been part of the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha program with either a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha A or BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha B, there’s a date upon which you may have been keeping a watchful eye: June 30th, 2013… the day the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha testing devices are set to be deactivated. Or are they?

The BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha testing devices were seeded to our development community in advance of the BlackBerry 10 launch to ensure hardware availability to our devs well ahead of launch. Now that launch has come and gone (and so too has the date for the BlackBerry 10 Limited Edition device!), those BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha testing devices start falling into the category of unsupported hardware since they were never intended to be a full commercial product nor do they support the full OS builds. But really, they still work, so why throw away a perfectly good device? Good news! You don’t have to.

If you saw the blog post advising devs of the BlackBerry 10.1 SDK OS update (SDK OS indicates that it’s not a full OS release, but rather an OS build that features a reduced set of apps – basically what you need to develop and build against), then you’ll be pleased to learn that the 10.1 SDK OS also had the side benefit of removing the date that was to disable the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha testing devices. In other words, for any BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha owners, if you’ve updated to the 10.1 SDK OS build, your device will continue to work beyond the June 30th date, with no imposed expiry date embedded in the OS.

The BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha A hardware will continue to be officially unsupported and the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha B hardware will join those same ranks on June 30th, but if you want to continue to developing apps against those devices beyond that date, you’re welcome to do so.

For more info on the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha program and to view other FAQs, please visit the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha web page.

Make sure you get the 10.1 SDK loaded befor it is too late and you have an paper weight. Let us know what you think about BlackBerry giving the Dev devices a new lease on life in the comments!

Infinite demands. Empowering solutions.

Our blackberry app developers render uniqueness in promoting business on mobile by delivering splendid user experiences that drive business value for our clients.

New York (PRWEB) May 23, 2013- Market reports indicate that the release of the new BlackBerry Z10 has helped the company to more than double its market share in its home country during the first quarter of 2013 from 6% to 13.5%. To bring this alive, Verizon Wireless, the biggest American carrier reported that BlackBerry’s new touch-screen smartphone, the Z10, has already turned in strong sales for Verizon, according to a recent analysis. With the sudden spurt in demand for BlackBerry devices, the demand for BlackBerry applications for simplifying the regular tasks of business and general users has also increased. And to help businesses reach out to a larger group of mobile users via intuitive and user friendly applications, the New York-based firm has launched Blackberry mobile application development services at affordable cost.

BlackBerry is a powerful Internet device which is more concerned about security and efficiency more than any other device around .With the mobile app market growing faster than ever, it has become imperative for businesses to connect and collaborate with target audiences with interactive and superior performing Blackberry applications. BlackBerry is still considered as the business staple, and the Balance software on the new BB10 operating system allows a partition to be created between work and personal applications and data. By providing tools for delivering work apps to mobile devices, the new OS aims to resolve many of the issues associated with the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend of SMBs.

Blackberry’s launch of Z10 device early this year had garnered more than 50 percent momentum compared to any other launch day in its history. And now, with BlackBerry’s second BB10 handset, recently introduced in Canada, the technology company is poised to reclaim even more ground in its homeland. In response to the growing demand, marketers are turning to highly resourceful mobile application development companies to develop apps that create compelling user experiences for BlackBerry’s new platform.

At Asahi Technologies, the developers leverage a myriad of web technologies to support Blackberry application development services comprising JavaScript, Java Programming, HTML, J2ME, CSS, C++, and SQlite. Offering end-to-end BlackBerry Application Development services ranging from retail to enterprise customers, the company delivers impressive user interfaces, in addition to developing powerful web and native applications for the Blackberry platform. “Our blackberry app developers render uniqueness in promoting business on mobile by delivering splendid user experiences that drive business value for our clients”, stated Mr.Vinod Subbaiah , soon after the launch of the services.

This specific build is signed as of May 16th, so you can imagine that there are already some newer builds floating around out there.  As always with a leaked OS you need to know what you are doing and always make a backup.   You can grab the leaked OS and instructions for using it below.

Download leaked OS 10.1.0.1916

Installation Instructions if needed:

Turn off your BlackBerry Z10.

Run the file that you just extracted.

Connect your Z10 to your usb cable and quickly turn it on.

The autloader should connect to your Z10 and start the process.

Sit back, have a coffee or a tea and wait until the process is finished.

When the autoloader has written 100%, the program will terminate and the window will close.

Disconnect your BlackBerry Z10 and wait for it to reboot.

Please note that we do not accept any responsibility for anything this does to your device.  Please do not attempt to load this unless you are comfortable with what you are doing.  You will need a Windows machine to use the loader, but if you do load it drop us a comment letting us know how it runs.
