BlackBerry's future will be about software
Let's not kid ourselves. The hardware sales were not great and BlackBerry's hand-held user base is diminishing (which I think is very sad).
The software business seems to be doing were good and seems to be highly profitable. Since the hardware business will probably not be a core business unit, the software gets more and more importance.
One idea came to my mind. What if BlackBerry licensed out bb10 to other manufacturers and quit the hardware business completely. Would you buy for example a Samsung phone that is running bb10. You would have a superior hardware and still would be using the same OS.
