RIM to introduce new BlackBerry 10 devices in January

November 12, 2012 12:28 PM GMT

Research In Motion Ltd said on Monday that it planned to introduce its long-delayed BlackBerry 10 platform and devices on January 30.

The Waterloo, Ontario-based company, a one-time pioneer in the smartphone industry, is betting its future on the success of the new line of smartphones, powered by its new BlackBerry 10 operating system.

RIM has struggled over the last two years, as its existing lineup of devices has lost ground to snazzier and faster smartphones like Apple Inc's iPhone and Samsung Electronics' <066570.KS> Galaxy line.
