Is Blackberry dead? Company lays off 4500

21st Aug, 2018
Blackberry has gone from smartphone leader to last place failure in a few years. The company has just laid off 4500 and reported $1 billion loss and has left people wondering is Blackberry dead?
Around 2008 Blackberry used to be one of those phones business people had or rather they were fashionable. People could email from their phones and it had a keyboard, amazing I know. Back then having a Blackberry phone was almost like a status symbol as those phones were not cheap and nor was the service. From 2010 Blackberry has gone from a leader of the smartphone market to virtually last place in 2013 and things have never looked worse for the company.
The future of Blackberry
Blackberry are probably going to be acquired by another company as they have valuable patents. Probably the best match might be Microsoft but it's hard to say as Microsoft already has their own mobile software and it might not make sense for them to try to keep 2 different operating systems. Right now with iOS/iPhone and Android owning the market, Microsoft's Windows mobile is going to struggle for the last slice of the pie and nobody knows if there is any left for Blackberry.Line of the Week (taken from AffiliateBible)
