Blackberry moving towards Android

-
BlackBerry's slide from leader of the smartphone pack to near obscurity has not been easy to watch, and it seems as if the company has decided that clasping to Android is the way to get its phone business back on track.
The launch of the BlackBerry Priv was a big clue: a flagship handset running the latest version of Google's mobile operating system rather than the BlackBerry's own software.
"The device is essentially our transition to Android ecosystem," Damian Tay, BlackBerry director  told the press. "As we secure Android, over a period of time, we would not have two platforms, and may have only Android as a [smartphone] platform.


Tay said that Android and BB10 would co-exist for the time being but it sounds like the writing's on the wall. In fact, rumours that the company would switch OSes have been swirling since last summer.


"The future is really Android," added Tay. "We went for Android essentially for its app ecosystem. In addition, all the enterprise solutions that we have been doing have been cross-platform for a long time now. So it's a natural progression towards Android."

Though we have different skin colours, we are still humans. It is saddening to my hearing that people are treated differently according to their skin complexions. People are unfavourably treated in the aspect of marriage, employment, promotion, pay, association and participation etc. because of their race or skin colour difference.  Based on m...
