It is hoped that the BlackBerry does not intend to completely abandon its proprietary operating system. You can count on the fact that the vessels of Android will be only one branch from this manufacturer. But there is no doubt about one thing – these equipments, which began Priv line, it will be much, much more.
Priv, formerly of Venice, has become a reality . He made his debut, took home first – mostly positive, though with a large number of reservations – Reviews. Here and there you can already buy or order first BlackBerry with “someone else’s” operating system. Flavored with blackberry sauce, but still not really copyright dish that perhaps because of it has any chance of success. Not in the market scale, but the scale of the BlackBerry and finances of the company.
And while some people still can not get over the decision of Canadians, Network gets information about another device using the same set of arguments – equipment BlackBerry Accessories BlackBerry, but a software platform from Google.
With this model device is covering the event under the code name “Vienna”, which – if you skip the operating system – unless it can no longer look more like the BlackBerry. The physical keyboard placed under the screen (although this is highly elongated vertically rather than square), or what was for years distinguishing characteristic of Canadian smartphones. Apparently the concept fairly simple, but mastered only by one company (ok, it could be 9 years ago a contribution to the fight against users of Nokia).
The exact phone that you can enjoy on graphics provided by CrackBerry, there is at this point, however, more important. It is not known from which the period of design originated how much change in the final device, or even whether may at some point no substitute his other. However, we can draw at least one conclusion: BlackBerry gearing up (once, do not know when) to release the device with a QWERTY keyboard and Android.
More important, however, is probably a general conclusion – Priv was not a single shot and the BlackBerry is connected with Android both high hopes and plans.
I do not intend by this act any “sanctity” – give for Android, most, or even all, whatever is best. From the software, the hardware add-ons, such as a keyboard. Everything is unable at first glance to distinguish the BlackBerry from the rest of the market, is for sale.
It is hardly surprising while such an approach and belief in Android. Sales of equipment with BlackBerry 10 is a disaster and there is no special reason to wade into new investments without coverage, working on support for BB10 on new components and devices. Added to this is the fact that the BlackBerry at the moment … there is no outside Priv virtually no “current” devices that could hit a wider range of customers. No, no, absolutely. Passport and Classic are devices niche, Leap is a device with 2,015 years of Snapdragon S4 Plus (?!). And so you can actually replace the entire offer – it’s still a good smartphones, but – as shown by the market – stock obsolete.
Why BlackBerry is not able to catch up with the rest of the world?
It’s simple – because he has own platform, which, either alone or with partners, must prepare for new components. So far all indications (data from the end of September this year), that either the company began to take better care of their secrets, or BB10 is not really ready for anything higher than 800 Snapdragon CPU, which can be found in Passporcie. The processor has, to put it mildly, quite old, who had indeed hit the two canceled appliances – tactile screen 5 “and” hybrid “(ie, probably slider) with a screen 5.2″ (hence perhaps Chen mistake when given parameters Priva).
The issue at this point the device with this processor would be a sad joke. Yes, perhaps BB10 everything would work perfectly, but it is not enough. Much too little. And whether existing devices do not work well on BB10?
Besides, it all costs a huge adjustment costs of each item and to adapt to its operating system. Something that BlackBerry in the current situation will never return.
Android is, however, quite different.
By creating Priva, a package of additional applications and security, the BlackBerry has almost everything you need, to easily supplement their meager current portfolio. Android prepare for new components do not have to. The way the market is open, the first step done. Other companies will also have no such gigantic delays with which we have seen so far.
There is no doubt that a BlackBerry, even if it is the last convulsion of the company on the smartphone market, intends this new opportunity use fully. Launch as many models as they could be and how much will a little bit reasonable. Not just to earn money to revive the BlackBerry 10 (which itself, though perhaps in slightly different circumstances, I’d love to!), But in order to on such a demanding market in general to survive and finally start making money on the sale of smartphones.
If anything is to save this branch of the company, it will be just Android. Easy to put on another device, with ready facilities, with a massive support and incredible popularity. What also is terribly bad news for BlackBerry 10.
