At long last, Blackberry Messenger has arrived for Android and iOS. After the unsuccessful attempt to launch last September, Blackberry now seems ready to go ahead with a second launch. However, with Blackberry’s recent issues, will this do more harm or good given that one of the reasons people still buy Blackberry is because of BBM?
After years of lagging behind companies like Apple and Google, Blackberry may soon be looking to break up the company.
In an article by Bloomberg, concerns that “Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. (FFH) may be unable to line up funding or partners for a $4.7 billion buyout” have made breaking up the company a much more attractive option in Blackberry’s current situation. This would let interested parties bid for the parts of Blackberry that they are most interested in such as patents and enterprise network.
