Two of the big names that are still missing are Netflix and Instagram.  Luckily Instagram has announced that they will be supporting BlackBerry 10, however Netflix doesn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.  This has been reinforced even more by a recent interview Netflix CEO, Reed Hastings, gave to CTV News.  Hastings made it very clear he believes BlackBerry 10 doesn’t have enough users to warrant them making an official app.

Here is what Hastings had to say in the interview,

CP: You’ve been quoted as saying that you’re always trying out a new smartphone or tablet to keep up on new technology. Have you tried one of the new BlackBerry 10 devices yet?

Hastings: No. Like many people I was a BlackBerry addict from 1997 or 1998 through to the iPhone but I haven’t tried it. We don’t currently support streaming on the BlackBerry, it’s a unique operating system you have to target, and unfortunately there’s just not enough volume for entertainment (apps). It’s a great device for getting work done but people don’t interact with it as an entertainment device the same way they do with say an iPhone or Android phone.

While we hope that Netflix changes their mind and eventually makes an official app, we aren’t going to hold our breath.

According to Blackberry, this future smartphone will be able to maintain a minimum bend radius of the folded flexible display when the smartphone is in the closed configuration so as to protect the flexible display from damage.

We have seen lots of flexible designs coming from multiple OEMs, but BlackBerry looks to be taking a slightly different approach to it, as you can see in the images that there is an area for a physical keyboard, touchpad, gamepad or whatever else can be fit into it.

We don’t expect to see this phone hit the shelves anytime soon, but it is good to see that BlackBerry is looking to the future and thinking of new and exciting designs.

This will still be over a 24 month contract, but at £20.00 a month the Q5 will be a great deal for anyone looking for a BlackBerry 10 device.  The combination of the good price and the multiple colour options should make the Q5 a hit with the younger BlackBerry users out there.  Currently the Curve 9320 is the cheaper BlackBerry at £10.00 a month, but for £10.00 more a month the Q5 is the much better buy.

July can’t come soon enough, as we really want to see how BlackBerry and the carriers price the Q5 around the world.  Stay tuned as I am sure we will get more information on pricing and global availability within the next few weeks.

  “We think the availability of the streamlined BES10.1 will catalyze enterprises to shift from trials of BES10 to broader roll-outs beyond the already installed 12K BES10 servers,” Misek said.

The new Regulated-level EMM options in BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 version  10.1 give our government and high-security customers the advanced settings they  need to have complete control of the BlackBerry 10 smartphones connected to  their networks,” said David J Smith, EVP, Enterprise Mobile Computing.  “Extending BlackBerry security, device and application management to iOS and  Android frees our customers from the need to invest in multiple device  management technologies, giving them an easy and cost-effective upgrade path to  a solution that supports their entire mobile environment globally.”

Peter Misek also increased the  Buy  rating to $22 price target for BlackBerry (NASDAQ:  BBRY) today with successful launches and sale for the Q10 in the UK and  Canada

Thanks @fortneyland95

Fusion  has received an average 4.5 stars user review on Apple App Store in the US market and several positive reviews from iOS game reviewers.

• iFanzine (5.0/5.0) : “Sage Fusion is a title that easily contends for the role of most intelligent literature on an iDevice that doesn’t also happen to be an eBook.”
• Capsule Computer (7.5/10):  a game that “has a great visual style, a nice battle system and is quite long considering it’s just ‘Chapter 1.’ All in all, I recommend exploring the Galactic Union.”
• GameSaku (5.0/5.0), a review from Indonesian website: According to the reviewer, Sage Fusion’s strong points are “very good hand-drawn graphics quality,” “suitable genre for midcore gamers,” and “full of interesting story and conversations.”

Sage Fusion features turn-based battle system, more than 70 hand-drawn background and story illustrations, and an engaging space opera storyline that is told through the gameplay. Explore the futuristic city of Capistad, the capital of the Galactic Union.

What’s unique about Sage Fusion:

• The story is the most important aspect of the game.
• A lot of character interactions and dialogue.
• RPG with science fiction setting.
• RPG-style turn-based battle system with no random enemy encounters.
• Optimized for touch screen – no virtual joystick.
• The gameplay borrows elements from RPG (e.g. battles, exploration), graphic adventure (e.g. puzzles), and visual novel (e.g. deep storyline with a lot of dialogue).
• No in-app purchase.
