Knowing IBM's presence in a lot of gov't and banking institutions, this would sell....03-14-15 06:51 PMLike 7 -
IBM isn't cheap and in the realm of security, neither should BlackBerry.03-14-15 06:53 PMLike 10 - One nice thing to take away from this article is that since the Secusmart technology requires a special chip card, it cannot be implemented in any current Apple products like the iPad or iPhone. Apple can't touch the secure market until they change their mindset and actually put a SD Card reader that is compatible with the Secusmart chip card (ie. no proprietary card reader nonsense) in their devices.

Plus French version of the Press Release, for our French speaking readers...
CeBIT 2015 : Secusmart d�voile la tablette SecuTABLET
As for cost:
The cost for this level of security is not cheap. While the consumer version of the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is around 500, the SecuTABLET tablet will ring in around $2,500 CDN (US$2,380).03-14-15 08:03 PMLike 12 - IBM SAMSUNG and BlackBerry's SucuSmart are together on this secure tablet? So much for apple IBM partnership news killing/shorting BlackBerry stock. What a bunch of frickin manipulators have we in the market, specifically all of them on BlackBerry's case.
Posted with BlackBerry Passport03-14-15 08:31 PMLike 13 - After thinking about this tablet for the day, I find myself back to thinking about the Apple/IBM deal. This was earth-shattering news at the time, but not a peep since...
So what does IBM know? That they haven't had any success in selling iPads to enterprise? That corporations are constantly asking about security? That Apple tried another of their infamous screw-jobs on IBM and they didn't take too kindly?
Makes me wonder, who called who here? IBM called Samsung, Samsung said "call BlackBerry"? Or Samsung and BlackBerry said "we need a big name app developer!"?
In any case, the biggest news of the day for me is not the tablet, but the constant shake-ups and collaborations. We're in the middle of a revolution, and BlackBerry is right in the mix (but is Apple?). Seems everyone is finding their role, and accepting others' roles.

Posted while peeking and flowing on my incredible BBQ10! 03-14-15 10:28 PMLike 5 - I really feel that is might be the end of bb10, if an android tablet is good enough for high security sectors then this doesn't bode well

03-14-15 11:22 PMLike 0 - Do we have an idea of how many BB10 devices had been sold through since January 2013, prior to this quarter?
Although it might not be enough to stem the hardware revenue decline, it should at least provide us with a base of the total volume that BlackBerry should be able to maintain throughout the next few quarters/years. It has been a little over 2 years since the Z10 launched, which really isn't that long ago. But, most people do tend to upgrade devices every 2 years.
Now, I'm not expecting this number to be that great; and a lot depends on trends/prices. I don't expect every BB10 user to automatically upgrade to the next BB10 device, but I do believe that chances are high this will happen.
So: how many of the BlackBerry faithful have purchased a BB10 device over the past 2 years?
I don't have device totals, nor can i speculate on the numbers.
I am more concerned with the ER following the release of the Slider, as it is looking like it is a Samsung S6 edge design.
Don't get me wrong, up until the this S6 edge, I was not a Sammy fan, but this device will be a huge hit. Further, if BlackBerry has their slider built around this similar design (and possibly by Samsung?), it think we will be in position to have the largest device sell-though for bb10 ever.
By that time, BES12 should be firing on all cylinders, and QNX will no doubt be selling well. This is where software and services will start to be a much larger wedge on the pie chart.
10 million units is where we need to be and we are already hearing that we are close to 7mil thanks to the emerging markets.
Good weekend!03-15-15 01:08 AMLike 5 -

If given enough time and no significant management screw ups, people will start to see the synergies that make BlackBerry a great company with a great future. Let's just hope they get their full chance to prove themselves. We'll be rewarded nicely. (oh, and let's hope no one buys BlackBerry out. I'd like BlackBerry to hit $100 as BBRY, not some other ticker.)

Seems to be a simple business effort to push each players wares, and if anything, IBM was hedging against their Apple deal. Same goes with Samsung adding their tablet in the mix to blunt some of the IBM iPad momentum.
The funny thing is that Apple may not have saw that play coming.
Now the oposition has the upper hand by means of higher security, and BlackBerry (ahem, SecuSmart) is in control of the security of both.
Just another step in the art of war....03-15-15 02:20 AMLike 9
