Android L versus BlackBerry 10
-
- That's the thing about competition: your competitors don't stand still. The mobile device market is one of the most competitive markets in the world, and the stakes are extremely high, which is why companies like Apple and Google pour billions of dollars a year in R&D and engineering to expand their reach. And of course they're going to look at good ideas that their competitors have and incorporate most of them in their own products. Keep in mind that a huge amount of BB10's ideas and concepts came from WebOS, which was designed by Matias Duarte, who has been head of Android design for several years now. It's not like he's "stealing" from himself, right?
The bigger things that BB needs to worry about are not the Android OS improvements, but all of the services, devices, and integration to other systems that Android continues to build upon. BB10 is kind of an island unto itself, and relies on third-party services for all of the things BB doesn't have of its own. iOS and Android both have large and growing suites of services, and yet can still work with third-party services as well. BB really can't compete with that - they don't have the money or the resources (developers/engineers) to play in this space.06-26-14 11:55 AMLike 10 - Those small features don't make much difference.
Android is an all encompassing platform that use your data to make your life easier no matter what you're doing.
BB10 is just a phone that runs a fraction of the Android apps but slower and with less features.
It won't be easy to sell BB10 phones in developed markets.06-26-14 12:00 PMLike 2 - it was bound to happen, brands need to evolve, and they will hit hardest when their competitors are most vulnerable.
The fact remains, BlackBerry is the best business device, nothing comes close to the email experience, I have tried every single platform, no comparison, If someone is looking at mobile computing, BlackBerry is the best platform.06-26-14 12:03 PMLike 0 - ... make money by selling it to unidentified third parties and using it to target advertising.
You're merely a little sardine in a can being sold by Google.

Now they copy balance and say it will now. Here's the problem.....its simply too fragmented. It has to be in order to dominate the consumer space. On another note, a large portion of the world doesn't trust the Americans post Snowden. His reports secured the BlackBerry comeback the day they were released. It just will take time. I personally do not trust Apple nor Google. They want to rule all the information of all the people in the world.

If you think bes was the first to have it Google it
Android had balance since 4.2.2 on tablets which predates BES 10 by a year
Even windows phone had it

For me, people nattering on health care and the Passport is nice but the absolutely most important thing JC needs to land is native MS Office and seamless integration with computers and Outlook. Office is the bread and butter of enterprise and if nothing else a stamp of legitimacy. It would also be a very visible area to trump Android (Office mobile for phones is a joke; only the iPad one is actually all that useful). That will be a real competitive step up in mobile computing for BBRY.06-26-14 01:29 PMLike 6 - That's the thing about competition: your competitors don't stand still.

Smartphone platform has clearly evolved to involve third screens, attached peripheral devices and PCs. There is no way BBRY will stand a chance to catch up and they should really focus on where they can add values.
Google presented tons of features, thousand APIs, devices ect. and BlackBerry presented in 10.3 what? About 15 new features,new UI, few APIs and updated runtime, nothing more, even nothing about Blend.
False excuses like "it's new OS" and blind defending by users won't help.

It is what it is, feed you eye candy to keep harvesting from you. I'm not saying it's a bad business (clearly not) but... as long as everyone is clear as to why they're getting what they're getting (for so little). Hopefully businesses aren't as altruistic and willfully oblivious to that fact though.

So, while many are, I'm sure, aware of what Google does and how they make their money, there are many more that don't.Mr.Willie likes this.06-27-14 05:51 AMLike 1 - I asked myself the same thing...
I hate ads for example. And there are services I would gladly pay for, as long as there are no ads, but I can't do that because they stopped having an ad-less business model.
I don't want to look at ads. In 99.9% of the time, every ad I saw was useless for me.
Which is a trend that got inspired and fueled by Android, the most.
It's well known that Android users pay the least for apps, going by averages.
I would also gladly pay for certain services if I don't get tracked, but that's a total dream of mine...
