RIM has been putting in a lot of work into its upcoming BlackBerry 6 OS and also updating everyone about the work being done. Today RIM has announced some of the very cool multimedia features that will be available on BlackBerry 6 which includes an integrated YouTube video uploader.
The upcoming BlackBerry 6 music library will be adding album art virtually everywhere for instant and easy recognition of favorite albums. You will be able to navigate your music by using the interactive carousel to swipe through the album art. You will also quickly find other selections from the same album/artist by selecting the album or artist name for the song currently playing!
In BlackBerry 6, browsing videos will have the new thumbnail view. There will also be more ways to view videos in BlackBerry 6. You will be able to opt to play video in various sizes (Original, Fit to Screen, Full Screen), plus instantly share your videos with the world using the new integrated YouTube® video uploader. Or perhaps you want to watch some online videos – no problem! The new universal search feature in BlackBerry 6 has been designed to enable you to search Internet video sites such as YouTube, and to enjoy higher quality YouTube videos when using Wi-Fi.
Another exciting thing about the BlackBerry 6 is the camera. Over the past years, RIM has always focused on business and have refrained from putting cameras on their mobile phones. Recently, though, they have been coming out with mobile phones that also cater to the young generation. Putting cameras helped the BlackBerry sell very well to teens who love taking pictures and sending text messages.
In BlackBerry 6, RIM has focused on perfecting the point and shoot experience. Users can capture photos quicker and better than ever before with a variety of new features in BlackBerry 6. New onscreen controls means there is no need to hunt through menus for your favorite options. You will be able to access and review camera pictures, set popular options and pick from a variety of scene modes, all directly from the camera screen. You will also be able to capture video using the video camera application on the device.
Still in the development phase, BlackBerry 6 is sculpting to be a new great mobile platform for BlackBerry users. I can’t wait to see the final product when it comes out.
