Now it's BlackBerry Z10's time to score the BlackBerry 10.1 update

The QWERTY equipped BlackBerry Q10 was able to have the updated BlackBerry 10.1 OS installed in time to come out of the box wielding the firmware update. The Canadian OEM announced on Tuesday that the update is now coming to owners of the all-touch BlackBerry Z10 as an OTA update beginning today . The update info was announced during the BlackBerry Live conference which opened this morning in Orlando, Florida.

While parts of the update, like Type N Go, were designed specifically for the physical portrait QWERTY keyboard on the BlackBerry Q10, other features will work perfectly with the BlackBerry Z10. For example, BlackBerry 10.1 will now allow a Z10 user to click on a phone number in an email or BBM message and have it dialed, or have the number copied and pasted to the dialer. After the update, BlackBerry 10.1 users will be able to view emails attached to another email, get suggestions from the contacts list when addressing a message and send direct communications between fellow BlackBerry smartphone users using PIN to PIN messaging.

The update also takes one of BlackBerry's most popular capabilities, messaging, and allows users to personalize it so that they can tell from the color of the blinking LED light, or from the ringtone or the vibrations set off, exactly who is trying to reach them. Besides customizing the notification features to determine who is calling or trying to send a message, these features can be set up to help users determine which platform a message is being sent from whether it is via email, Twitter or Facebook.

The update also gives users more control over the cursor, making it easier to correct text or highlight a word. A blue circle can be moved to the exact point where a word or letter needs to be inserted. In addition, with all of the talk about how well the Nokia Lumia handsets take pictures in low-light conditions, the update brings HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode to the BlackBerry Z10 camera. By layering multiple pictures at different exposure levels, a picture now combines the best of the dark areas and light areas in bringing BlackBerry 10.1 owners improved performance with pictures snapped in low-light conditions. The camera will also now reduce both red and golden eye images.

While the update starts rolling out today to Z10 owners, don't panic if you don't get it by the stroke of midnight. These updates usually are sent out in waves and if your phone doesn't receive it today, tomorrow or even the next day, just be calmed by the knowledge that it will eventually arrive.

BlackBerry OS 10.1 update seeding now



There is no official changelog provided with this update, but we already knew what to expect thanks to the the previously seeded developers' build. HDR stills, PIN-to-PIN messaging, APN edition, improved BlackBerry World store, improved text picker are among the major novelties brought by BlackBerry 10.1.

The update is rolling out gradually, so it might not be available for your country yet. BlackBerry hasn't provided a detailed schedule for, but we hope the release won't take more than a couple of weeks to go global. If you happen to receive the update notification make sure to drop us a line in the comments section below, mentioning your country.

Gmail for iOS gets update so it can work better with other Google apps

Screenshots from Gmail for the Apple iPhone

Gmail for iOS has received an update on Monday that allows it to work better with other Google related apps. After the update, users will be able to click on links for Chrome, Google Maps and YouTube directly inside Gmail and be whisked away to the iOS app for each of them, instead of getting sent to the mobile web. It might not be earth shattering, but it is a little convenience that might make your life a tad smoother. And if you'd rather be sent to the mobile web, the update thoughtfully includes a way to disable this new feature.

Another new feature that comes with the update now allows you to sign out of Gmail accounts individually. Gmail for iOS allows for 5 separate accounts that you can easily switch between. Before the update, ending the session on one account would automatically sign you off all of your other open accounts, a feature that thankfully has been removed.

The Gmail app for the Apple iPhone and Apple iPad is a free download from iTunes.
