BlackBerry has today rolled out new updates for its Camera, Keyboard, Launcher, and Virtual Expert apps, bringing new features and big improvements to Priv.

Users can now record slow-motion video, sort apps into personal and work sections, enjoy better typing predictions, and more.

Remember Samsung’s clunky keyboard case for the Galaxy Note 5? Believe it or not, it’s still not dead yet. In fact, Samsung thought it was worthwhile to make another one for the new Galaxy S7 series, and you’ll be able to get yours in March.

Microsoft is acquiring SwiftKey, London-based makers of the popular virtual keyboard for Android and iOS, in a deal rumored to be worth $250 million.

SwiftKey insists it will continue to develop its keyboard for both platforms going forward — and it will remain free.

BlackBerry 10 has been a complete flop since it made its debut with the Z10 in early 2013, but it does deliver some nice features that I’ve been waiting for on Android for almost three years. One of those in an awesome virtual keyboard that’s terrific to type on.

Now that BlackBerry has its own Android device, that keyboard has been ported to Google’s platform — and you don’t need to buy a Priv to get your hands on it. Here’s how to download and install it on your device.

Physical keyboards are making a return to Android with the upcoming BlackBerry Venice, and the leaked promotional video below gives us a glimpse at its sliding action for the first time.
