[Rumor] - BlackBerry ENDING BB10 Support in May 2017
- BB10- does it matters if no support? BIS BBOS7 it is critical if you don't get BIS, but BB10? few app not working? horoscope not update? sure, that is a problem. if your bank app or your school app not working (they are not produce them for BB10 OS anyhow), that might be a big problem... up to now, you should have all the apps, like BB map, dictionary, color LED on your device, if no support, does that matters? BB world might got shut down (link and blend already gone), anything else that is critical I missed? thx.stlabrat likes this.12-23-16 02:03 PMLike 1

- Say it isn't so! I just bought an android tablet and it sucks compared to BB10. They do have to get the bugs worked out of BB10 though!12-23-16 06:52 PMLike 0

Many people are complaining that it already doesn't function on their PC'S and Macs that are running the latest OS.

�n the same time JC said that they will stop BlackBerry 10 only if they can secure Android at the same level. So they should get the NIAP certification at the same level as they got for BlackBerry 10.
The second thing is that they said Android N is as secure as BlackBerry 10. It's not. One example is the encryption key. If they make it as secure, many Android apps will not work so that means they still don't have all the apps people are crying for.
Off topic, we can all see Android is not a solution. Even with Google play available, the Android BlackBerry devices didn't save the handset department. Everybody thought that if BlackBerry will use Android they will sell an enormous amount of smartphones. That didn't happen.
Android is not a solution.
Android is still full of issues after so many years of developing comparing with BlackBerry 10 which has only 4 years.
And Samsung is working on Tizen, which I think is also more secure than Android.

All the Android devices that have or the Android devices that are in tests are only for a few applications. There is no Android device with the NIAP certifications at the same level as BlackBerry 10.

BlackBerry 10 is way ahead of its time. I wish they sold the OS to MICROSOFT or something or at least make it open source (that means we lose NIAP or any security because now is wide open lol)

Also, Samsung Knox meets the requirements for FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification for both data-at-rest (DAR) and data-in-transit(DIT).
Having worked on getting FIPS support for other products, getting this certification is great for Samsung. The fact is that Samsung already has these devices on the US Federal Government approved purchase list.
Apple also has the iPhone on the approved US Federal Government list. The company I work for also sells to many of these agencies that require certification. In my dealings with them I have not seen BB10 devices, I do see iPhone and some Samsung phones.12-24-16 10:36 AMLike 0 - correct me if i am wrong: software encryption only are not sufficient with future processor that almost equal to the old main frame power. you need hardware encryption. An openOS with limited or no customization to integrate hardware encryption like droid may be on the way out (don't kill me for saying so). BIS is way ahead of its time for both hardware and software encryption, although it is primitive as compare to the latest tech, but still far secure compare to the software only encryption - (personally, I still believe as long as you have the hardware asset on hand, regardless, you got a fair chance to break the encryption - iphone cambridge U case... provide you know where the hardware encryption is store on board). BB10 as a good bone for software security - certificant provide the acceptable std at the current stage. Add hardware encryption, like BIS (not necessary similar to BIS), would be great to get SAF again. decouple hardware and software is shoot itself in the foot.. no in the feet (both feet... hard for it to run again). IMHO.12-24-16 10:51 AMLike 0

IMHO.
If you mean hardware-level encryption features, then both Qualcomm (to a respectable degree) and Apple (to the degree Qualcomm wishes they had) have hardware-level facilities for data encryption/decryption. Worrying about "future processors equal to old mainframes" implies that you mean encryption can always be brute forced; destroying data after a number of failed tries, among other anti-brute force methods (like lockouts after enough failed attempts) are already in place.
Lastly, the assertion that BIS is ahead of its time in any way is just silly. It's a relic of 2G networks and routes all data through a single point of failure (*cough*).12-24-16 04:28 PMLike 0 - my bad. not suppose to say BIS, but the on handset encryption... agree with single point and 2G, but it was limited to the time with carrier data pipe still limited and pricy. vastly different now. (remember the stick shock when some BB user move to iphone initially? 40.00 per month data plan become more than 100... easy). Thanks for your comment.12-24-16 04:54 PMLike 0

No doubt this rumour is as fake as it could be..
And hey Google around regarding German Ministry of the Interior is planing a new ministry of truth (sort of Orwells 1984 lite) to combating fake news on the web!
Yep, and that's not a fake news but rather confirmed by the German government in public officially.
Yeah the good old German officials taking the biscuit ones more.

Susan: �All right, I�m not stupid. You�re saying humans need � fantasies to make life bearable.�
Death: �No. Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.
Susan: �But Tooth fairies? Hogfathers?�
Death: Yes. As practice. You have to start out learning to believe the little lies.
Susan: �So we can believe the big ones?�
Death: �Yes. Justice. Mercy. Duty. That sort of thing.�
Susan: �They�re not the same at all!�
Death: �Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through with the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet you act as if there were some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged.�
Susan: �Yes. But people have got to believe that or what�s the point�
Death: �My point exactly.�
Conclusion is:
You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?*
