If BlackBerry isn't denying Android rumor, then it's pretty much true
- The Android rumor.
Now you see bloggers declaring the death of BlackBerry 10 and still no comments from the company.
Not commenting on unsubstantiated rumors seems to be a general BlackBerry PR policy. What if the rumor is hurting the company? You got to believe Chen won't let that happen. If he didn't clarify on this, then there got to be some truth in it.
Either way, I don't like this.

But, I for one, see no advantage for BlackBerry in a world saturated with varying derivatives of Android.
If the writing is on the wall regarding the demise of BlackBerry 10, then it will join the good company of OS/2 and webOS.

BlackBerry Q10 driven by 10.3.2.2339 on T-Mobile
Even though I personally like BB10, they're kind of stuck in a dead end with that OS at the moment. The supply of Android apps is a workaround at best and it is rather disappointing. Device sales have been bad and they're not getting better. The newest device currently on the market has 2 year old specs and is for a rather specific target audience.
I'd say, on the long run we're either going to see BlackBerry succeeding in the Android market, or the handsets will disappear entirely at some point.

In fact they've been pushing the 'we want to serve all platforms' story, and a rumor that hints at them possibly making a device on another platform only serves to support such a story.

The sooner they go full Android the sooner I can decompile and deobfuscate all their source code. Already did it with BBM . Looking to modify some of their features and remove some purchase blocked features.

BB10 has flow. Android is cumbersome and has no flow...............
Would the new system be marketed as "ebb and flow"? .............

That means they say nothing at all. Not a Yes! Not a No! True!, False! etc etc. 'nothing'

For years after its public demise, it continued to find use in ATM's and other secure transaction environments.
For those of who used IBM OS/2 Warp 4, its demise was a sad day.

It floundered in much the way BB10 is now - failing to gain widespread 3rd party application support.
Posted via CB1007-31-15 01:50 PMLike 0 - To be silent when some bloggers out there declare BB OS10 as dead isn't good. It really hurts the company.
IF Chen goes full Android - and I really hope he wont - he should have told so and make it look like it's something positive. If he keeps it secret, and everyone writes negative comments on blogs and so on... Then it's really bad press. But if Chen would have given interviews saying he is going Android and it will be something great and name the reasons, why it is so, then one could believe him... But this way? Not commenting isn't the way to go.07-31-15 02:16 PMLike 0 - To be silent when some bloggers out there declare BB OS10 as dead isn't good. It really hurts the company.

For all we know, they could decide it's not working at all.

BB10 AND Android? How BlackBerry can have its cake and eat it ? The Register
Only question is: Is it like a VM on the desktop, so you would have to use android navigations, etc. Or does is simply run apps?
Of cause if this would be the future at all...07-31-15 02:27 PMLike 0 - That hypervisor is a game changer though. Irrespective of which UI you prefer, the golden egg is that can effectively add a powerful layer of security to Android. Any Android owner or organisation that runs Android devices would be moving to BlackBerry Android handsets as they would be more secure. (if they care about security). That same hypervisor would be able to put an Android os into cars very effectively which would mean greater connectivity between the phone and the car due to features like google maps and google now. IOT would be greatly affected too as things in your home or office could be instructed via voice while you're stuck in traffic. The beautiful thing to consider is that you can slide any OS on top of BlackBerry 10. BlackBerry Windows phone for example. (not that I see a ready use for that, but i've only been thinking about it for five minutes.) the other feature of QNX that is often overlooked is it's ability to fail safe due to the micro kernel structure of the os.
If a hypervisor is what they are shooting for, I can see Google salivating at the prospect of integrating itself even more into the fabric of our lives. I don't think the OHA rules will matter if BlackBerry can get Google on side. What effect would that have on the mighty Apple?
Just speculating of course, but food for thought nonetheless. I sense a seed of something immense being closely guarded at BlackBerry.
