I expected a very long death because of the government contracts. Blackberry isn't going anywhere until a different maker has all of the security clearances needed to have its devices on the secure network. I don't think Apple cares. Probably Samsung or Google will do its best to get those in a few years.

There are "secure" versions of Android. It's the secure messaging solution that is bundled with BB that makes it a compelling solution for the government. QNX OS is a real-time embedded OS that is popular for embedded applications. They could close their consumer division and just do government and embedded product lines and actually be profitable.
