With two disastrous years behind it, RIM is pinning all its hopes on BlackBerry 10, which is due to launch with a range of new smartphones in the first quarter of 2013. Initially slated for a 2012 launch, RIM's CEO Thorsten Heins delayed the launch as he wasn't happy with the way the system worked.
The company announced its BlackBerry 10 platform has received the FIPS 140-2 certification, which would allow government agencies to deploy the devices, along with the new BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 to run the devices, as soon as the new smartphones are launched.
