Blackberry Gamble

Blackberry's One Crucial Win To Survive 2016



BlackBerry has committed its future to the Android ecosystem. While the BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Classic handsets running BB10 will be maintained and remain in production (presumably to meet a bundle of existing government and enterprise contracts), 2016 will see the Canadian manufacturer rely on Android-powered devices for all its releases. And once 2017 arrives I very much doubt that a new BB10-powered device will be released.

In terms of the volume of consumer sales required to give its handset division even a chance of reaching the five millions devices per year required to simply break even, BlackBerry had little choice but to move to Android. The application ecosystem that is expected of a modern-day smartphone demands nothing less than the breadth of native applications available on iOS or through the Google Play Store for Android devices.
The transition to the Android operating system requires BlackBerry to make two crucial transitions with its biggest selling point: to maintain the security that it offers clients, and retain the association of the BlackBerry brand name with security.

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the  Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well,  Apple . In a series of photos posted to his  website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by  CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...
