Hello. I know about ram and all that but I was just thinking that they can't change operating systems because, 1. Keysoft still has its own bugs so if they rewrite it it will be unusable. 2. I don't think android would give us their newist systems and also viruses are about. And I think they planning it for next year or so because as I said it before they changing them in every five years. That is how they did it before. What do you think about time. Do you think that they will relece one? I am not sure but the apex is again having programs one after the other. Look at its keyboard. They do need to change it. They need a whole new design including a new type of thumb keys, a new scrole wheel and a lots more.

Hello. First of all, I think that if a new bn comes out, it will probably have a better processor, more storage space, and more ram. This seems to have happened with every model release so far, so I'm predicting that it will happen again. Also, I think that if hw is really concerned about competing with Hims, the new bn will have to have a built-in gps receiver and accelerometer. As for an operating system, I suppose that the next bn could still use Windows ce, but this wouldn't make much sense to me, since Windows CE is completely obsolete now. I think they would only be able to update it one or two more versions, which would still put the bn behind mainstream pdas. Personally, I think it would be cool if the new bn could run on some version of either Android or Linux. That way, us bn users would have a completely modern, open-source operating system. Of course, this would require KeySoft to be completely re-written, but it has to happen at some point.

Hi. I was just thinking about that the apex is now 4 years old. This suggests to me that the new bn is on its way. I would like to know your thoughts on it and what it should have etc. I also would like to know the programing side please. I mean design looking and operating system which I would like to know what you Joseph think about.
