In Pictures: A closer look at RIM's BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha smartphone

RIM has unveiled the first smartphone running its next-generation BlackBerry 10 software. The device is meant only for developers, however, and won't ever be released to the public. CIO.com's Al Sacco shares a number of images of the new BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha handheld.

(Note: The barcode-like symbol on this developer device is for RIM security and tracking purposes. The devices developers received feature a BlackBerry logo instead of the symbol.)
