What are the new things coming in 10.2 New Os BlackBerry 10 gets bigger & better with time. The platform keeps rolling out improvements with software updates & this time with a hefty upcoming 10.2 release, we will see a lot new features including Android 4.2.2 runtime, pop-up actionable notifications, WiFi direct & More! The video above shows how the new actionable notifications work. Unlike on iOS & Windows, users not only gets preview message but can also reply to them in an instant. These actionable pop-ups can also be enabled on lock-screen as seen on Android (love this feature). Following are detailed features that we will find on 10.2 OS scheduled to release in coming months. Headless apps Headless apps will be able to run in the background or be triggered instead of showing up and running as a pane. USB Host Capability This should allow you to connect usb sticks to BlackBerry devices and transfer files. WiFi Direct and Miracast This will allow Wi-Fi connectivity directly between devices instead of going through a router. This will essentially act like Bluetooth, but use the Wi-Fi radio for faster transfer speeds. Miracast will use Wi-Fi Direct for high bandwidth transmission of video to an external display. Flurry Analytics BlackBerry will support the analytics solution called Flurry which can help developers understand their customers better and create better apps via analytics solutions. Smart cards Smart card support will allow BlackBerry 10 devices to act as access cards to physical buildings/rooms via NFC. Altimeter The altimeter would allow developers to make apps that can use altitude information. This is either access to an existing barometer in the Z10, or simply a way to obtain altitude information from a GPS location. Geofencing Geofencing on BlackBerry smartphones will allow developers the ability to create apps which work or respond depending on a precise area you’re in. This can be useful for securing smartphones for business within a complex, or an application for notifying whether your child leaves a certain virtual area. Android Jelly Bean Support Along with OS 10.2, BlackBerry should be rolling out support for Android Jelly Bean Apps. This should bring in many new high-quality Android apps that are designed for the latest Android smartphones.
