The Bad Part About BlackBerry's Announcement
The announcement made by BlackBerry that it is looking for other strategic alternatives was made for investors/stockholders. It appeased them with the knowledge that there is a Plan B. The word sale being the one that stock holders are most happy to hear.
The bad part is the it puts BlackBerry 10 operating system and devices "up in the air". I think people would be less likely to buy one now and developers would be less likely to support the platform.
Those not yet invested in the platform will take a wait and see attitude. Would have been best for the platform if this kind of thing we're done in the background and quietly. But I guess there was pressure to release some news that would appease investors.
Not a very bright move, if you ask me.
