    Default Can the new RIM CEO resuscitate BlackBerry?

    Research in Motion pioneered the smartphone with its BlackBerry devices and created a standard for mobile enterprises. But in the BYOD world where employees use Apple and Google devices for business, Blackberry has lost its mojo.
    “There are no advantages to using BlackBerries anymore,” said Eran Livne, co-founder of LetMobile, an Israeli device management provider. “I don’t see how they can rebound. Technology runs fast and [RIM] missed the boat.”

    But Heins is assured that BlackBerry 10, RIM’s next-generation operating system, due sometime this year, and the revised PlayBook tablet will gain enough traction among developers and consumers to right the company ship. Further, BlackBerry 10 will offer support for Android apps to leverage the latter platform’s success.
    If this is really the case and BlabkBerry 10 will offer support for Android Apps this could mean a turning point for RIM and the BlackBerry. But what does this mean, is this support going to allow access to and installation of All Android Market Apps? Or will it be a select few or some watered down version of the Android Market. I would really love to know the full extent of this Android Support.
