Currently running a modified version of the PlayBook OS, the Dev Alpha device was seeded to developers to keep them interested and give them a platform to develop on. Featuring a 4.2 inch screen, a quad band HSPA + radio (no LTE), front and rear facing cameras as well as a generous 16GB of storage, a microSIM and a sealed-in battery.
