BlackBerry 10.1, the first point release update to BlackBerry’s new operating system, has already shipped for the company’s Q10 handset. This week it begins rolling out to the touchscreen Z10, as well. Speaking at the company’s BlackBerry Live conference, CEO Thorsten Heins announced broad availability of BB 10.1 — which features enhancements like personalized notifications and support for Skype. “By the end of this week, the vast majority of our international carriers will offer this update,” Heins said. “Carriers in the United States will offer it by the end of the month.”
