QUESTION: Why isn't the Priv being released with option for either BB10 or Android?
I am asking seriously, here, as someone who has some software knowledge, but not so much hardware knowledge.
I know that two different software builds would require more resources being allocated to testing...
But given that the device probably started out as a BB10-compatible offering, I would imagine that the level of effort required to get BB10 running on it would have been substantially less than what was required to port many of BB10's core functionality and apps over to Android.
As a Z10 owner, I have to say that although BB10 has its shortcomings, I much prefer it to both Android and iPhone. What I would really like to see is a BB10 device with a more comprehensive Android runtime, not a Android device with BB10 apps on it...
But it seems as though there is really no BB10 device upgrade path for me.
What is the rationale for not getting maximum leverage out of given hardware build by offering different OS options?
