NetEase Science and technology news September 29, according to Science and technology blog TNW reported, the BlackBerry co-founder Lazaridis (Lazaridis) is not satisfied with the design of Z10, because it cannot distinguish itself from Apple or based on the Android phone. He thinks the company should play its own advantage in designing devices with keyboards. At a recent board meeting, Mr. Lazaridis the BlackBerry with a keyboard and said, "I can understand this, with a distinctly differentiated design." "Then he took out a touch-screen blackberry," but I don't understand what it is. "Mr Lazaridis said it was a huge mistake for the company to give up on products that have been doing well and focus on the production of a full touch smartphone in the Red Sea market." He warned his board colleagues that some of them agreed. "The iphone is good enough for professionals," he says. Does BlackBerry need it? Everyone has his own personal taste. With the advent of Q10, we can attract a wider audience without sacrificing the professional market. The market is huge, just like the car market, which has plenty of room to hold multiple producers. Instead of a winner-all business. "In March this year, the BlackBerry announced the Z10 three months before the shipment of more than 1 million units." This is and is an exciting milestone, but it is worse now. The company was stuck with 1 billion dollars for unsold equipment. Due to lack of demand, T has become the first operator in the United States to announce that it will no longer sell its BlackBerry. The bet on touch screen devices is a failure. And it's debatable whether BlackBerry can sell a phone successfully. Its reputation is falling fast, as its rivals do. Nokia, HTC and other rivals are still struggling, despite the release of some of the best quality smartphones. So Lazaridis expressed his pain: "It really hurt me." I can't imagine what employees think. Everyone is saying that the most likely scenario is a spin-off sale. Will the company still exist? Interestingly, he compares the BlackBerry with Apple, IBM and Intel. "Each of them has had a hard time, but they are back at the top. "This week the Fairfax company wants to make a 4.7 billion-dollar BlackBerry, but it's clearly not a move to bring the BlackBerry back to market dominance," Lazaridis said. (John)
