    After seeing viber update for BBOS I just had a thought. Wouldn't it have been better for BlackBerry if it provided BBOS compatibility in BB10 rather than Android? Many people stuck with legacy devices would have switched and we would still be running BlackBerry apps compared to Android ports probably making developers think about BlackBerry as a significant platform.

    I do believe BBRY wants to phase out BBOS. It would like to have only one OS to devote it's development team to.

    I don't think the average BBOS app would notice more than one core or look good stretched from some tiny resolution to 720p.

    BBOS wasn't lauded for its diversity of apps, of course. Subtracting themes from the equation would give us a paltry sum compared to the possible Android apps that would work when loaded onto BB10.
