I am sure there are some of you out there who like to have individual notifications for emails. That was a feature on OS 7 that for some reason didn’t make it to BlackBerry 10. But since BlackBerry 10 was a complete OS overhaul, it was probably not imperative to have at launch. Because the BlackBerry 10.1 Developer Beta has Per Email Notifications.
You can change the LED, the tone, vibrate or make one silent if you wanted. It’s not ultra customizable, as in it doesn’t let you change the length of the tone used and volume setting. But it has the most important part, so if you really want to hear your business emails coming in but not the personal ones, one could be loud and the other vibrate.

They have released beta OS 10.1 for the BlackBerry Dev Alpha B & C along with the simulators. Here is what they had to say:

Hey BlackBerry devs – we’ve got exciting news for you! To tide you over until the much awaited BlackBerry Q10 release, you’ll be seeing a new SDK OS update for your BlackBerry Dev Alpha C devices. This 10.1C SDK OS is a developer preview that allows you to check out how your apps will run on the soon-to-be-released Q10 device.

What about Dev Alpha B devices?

We’ve got an update for that too! With this release you’ll be able to check out how your Z10 apps will run on the 10.1 OS, and make all the necessary changes, if needed.

Have you already submitted your awesome app and received your LE BlackBerry 10 device? Or have you already picked up your own BlackBerry Z10?

We certainly want to see more of your great app ideas come to life, so you’ll also be seeing a 10.1C SDK OS update for these devices as well.

Will the simulators be getting an update too?

Yes! There will be a 10.1C SDK OS build for the BlackBerry 10 simulator, so whether you test on a device or a simulator, know that you’ll be able to test on the most recent build available. You won’t see two different simulators available but you will get one simulator with the option to boot to a Z10 or Q10 resolution.

Let’s recap the updates that you’ll be seeing:

So how can you get these updates for your device?

The 10.1C SDK OS will be available for each device through its own autoloader – you’ll see one each for the Dev Alpha C and the Dev Alpha B.

For developers who want to test it on their BlackBerry Z10, you’ll need to find out your device model number and grab the corresponding autoloader. The device model can be found under Settings> About. See the example screenshot below

Note: This SDK OS update is only for testing purposes and does not replace your full BlackBerry 10 OS. To revert your BlackBerry Z10 to a public OS release, please follow the steps outlined in this KB Article. Using BlackBerry Link, you will be able to reload your device software to a full OS and, if needed, download any OS updates from your carrier.

Device targets for the Momentics IDE will also be updated. If you need a refresher on how to download the target OS and configure it, we’ve got a detailed description right here.

Now that you’re ready for the Q10 (and subsequent 10.1 release!), we can’t wait to see and use your apps! Go on and grab the updates and the simulator at developer.blackberry.com!

***UPDATE*** After speaking with @BBABrian and @jforce1 on Twitter it appears that the navigation icon I thought was BlackBerry Navigator is actually Google Navigator (Android Port)…

As if we need more confirmation that Skype was headed to BlackBerry 10. Soulja Boy is getting some special love from BlackBerry and Skype as he is currently running a beta version of Skype on his BlackBerry Z10. While looking over the photo above I also noticed that he is also running BlackBerry Navigation. BlackBerry Navigation is currently only available for BlackBerry legacy devices at this time.

I want the Skype Beta and BlackBerry Navigation now!! Let us know what you think in the comments!
