Running at full HD resolution the game featured no lagging on the BlackBerry PlayBook while elsewhere the publisher Gameloft has confirmed that the upcoming HD title NOVA 3 will be available to BlackBerry 10.

Featuring graphics that have only been seen on the New iPad NOVA 3 has given a clear hint that BlackBerry 10 devices will be supporting really high-power hardware including dual-core processors and potentially quad-core devices as well.

BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha features:

With always-on multi-tasking the Blackberry 10 OS allows users to always access their notifications by simply swiping across the screen, this can then be used to swap applications as well with a graphical UI that looks similar to turning a page.

The keyboard has been completely updated for touchscreen handsets with fluid 'swype-style' predictive text and the ability to 'throw' predicted words up into the copy.

The camera has also been given a huge overhaul with users able to take a picture and then select an aspect of the photo and 'turn back time' by moving a slider across the screen
