All they're really saying is that they want to maintain control without outsiders. And to really do that, they have to convert the company back into a private one, cut their losses by removing the deadweight in the 4500 employees, then stick to a core business that they know will keep them alive.
- Mikeb85 13y agoThey should do infrastructure, and high-end Android phones aimed squarely at execs. Qnx is great, but the eco-system is in Android, BlackBerry should make the switch. Their hardware is great, they could bring their UI and apps with them, enter Google's ecosystem and sell a bunch of gold-plated, physical keyboard equipped Android phones...
- nly 13y agoI think switching to Android would be a disaster. "Just another Android phone" is something we see already in the market, with very few players actually differentiating themselves.
- canistr 13y agoAgreed. Secure infrastructure would be important. I see it as the most important component given that so many companies are switching their infrastructure to support BYOD instead of tying themselves directly to BB, Windows Phone, etc.
