Overnight, while you were all tucked away in bed RIM held their first keynote at BlackBerry Jam Asia, currently happening in Bangkok, Thailand. Without wasting time, RIM went on to announce a plethora of newsworthy announcements; starting with BlackBerry AppWorld, to be renamed with the launch of BlackBerry 10 to simply “BlackBerry World”. Alec Saunders, RIM’s VP of Developer Relations, also revealed the new Dev Alpha C device – a BlackBerry 10 smartphone with a physical QWERTY keyboard, similar to the BlackBerry 9900. This BB10 is only for developers who are looking to test their BB10 apps; similar to the all-touch Dev Alpha A and Dev Alpha B, there’s a limited amount to go around.

Big news coming out of Asia today, with a lot more on deck!
