As you can see in the video the user interface is improved in the next software release and you will find a redesigned home screen, universal search, context-senstive pop-up menus (always something that bugged me about the inconsistent menu system on BB devices), much improved WebKit-based browser, and new social networking applications and integration. Much of what we see here we see on iOS and Google Android devices, which IMHO is a good thing since RIM excels at security and many companies still issue BlackBerry devices for control and standardization across the company so maybe fewer people will have to carry multiple devices or try to bring in their own device.
It will be interesting to see what existing phones support the BB 6 update (should be coming this Fall) and what RIM's plans are moving forward for touchscreen devices. Are you looking forward to BlackBerry 6 or have you moved on to the iPhone or Android platform?
