BlackBerry confirmed late last month that its full-touch Z10 smartphone would go on sale in early February, but the Canadian company could not offer details on the upcoming release of BlackBerry Q10.

The QWERTY-enabled smartphone is now rumored to arrive on the market as early as March, though release dates are usually carrier and country dependent.

Anyway, until the release of BlackBerry Q10, developers will be happy to know that the handset maker has just released the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK Beta with support for this device.

However, as BlackBerry mentions, this is just a preview which was specifically created for the upcoming release of the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone.

Furthermore, the company states that any applications developed with this SDK will not be compatible with previous releases. Check it out here.
