Research In Motion has its work cut out for it. Apple and Samsung <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/30/apple-samsung-take-profit/">went from dominating the smartphone industry to completely owning it</a> in the first quarter this year, and <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/29/rim-reports-q4-miss-balsillie-resigns-as-director-cto-out/">RIM’s struggles continued</a> as its BlackBerry 7 smartphone lineup really started showing its age. All eyes are on BlackBerry 10 as industry watchers try to determine whether or not RIM has a real shot at a comeback, and RIM has to be especially impressive at this year’s BlackBerry World conference since its first BlackBerry 10 smartphone likely <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/26/rims-first-blackberry-10-phone-said-to-launch-in-october/">won’t even launch until some time in October</a>. RIM president and CEO Thorsten Heins will take the stage in just a few minutes when RIM’s BlackBerry World keynote kicks off at 9:00 a.m. EDT / 6:00 a.m. PDT, so hit the break to follow all the action as it unfolds and don’t forget to refresh the page for the latest updates.<span id="more-137521"></span>
