Impostors: Has the BlackBerry ecosystem been in its own?

The BlackBerry's 10 smartphone, the industry's only hope for a recovery in the past quarter, has failed to meet expectations, which in turn has led to a further slide in BlackBerry's performance, making it a special Committee to explore the possibilities for future BlackBerry (including selling). Despite the current BlackBerry's plight, the possibility of selling at its own cost is not very high, but as a complete independent ecosystem still exists in the smartphone industry, it has some value (just a few questions). But in recent days, exactly what is being exposed, we are appalled by the value of the BlackBerry as an independent ecosystem. According to foreign media AllThingsD, in all applications of the BlackBerry App Store (BlackBerry World), a developer named S4bb has so far contributed over 47,000 applications, accounting for more than One-third of the BlackBerry platform's total application (according to BlackBerry's data released this May). As far as we know, even with iOS and Android, which have an absolute advantage in the smartphone industry ecosystem, there is no developer (or a development team) that can develop so many apps for developers that have a compelling and profitable platform. Is the BlackBerry platform's application developer all high yielding? Of course not, otherwise the BlackBerry App Store will not be able to use the same number of apps as Apple, Google and Microsoft to the bottom of the independent ecosystem. Unfortunately, even with such a prolific developer, the quality of its development is not flattering. According to AllThingsD, the developer's application was significantly inversely proportional to the number of applications developed. In addition to the top 10 more applications can be basically qualified, and the rest is full of urban tourism guides, audio books and the common language manuals and other seemingly impostors works. Sometimes it even makes people wonder if these "apps" should be defined as a real application. According to this standard, can we say that these 47,000 applications are hardly counted as BlackBerry App Store applications, that is, the BlackBerry App Store in the number of applications to subtract these 47,000, if so, as the most important part of the mobile ecosystem applications, BlackBerry and Apple, The gap between Google and Microsoft will be even greater. How big is it? We are currently ranked in the third Microsoft WP application number of 150,000 or so to measure, the BlackBerry's application is only 1/3 of Microsoft, and it is well known that Microsoft in the mobile Internet (smartphone) industry has not been a big improvement, One of the most important reasons is that the number of apps is too big a gap between Apple iOS and Google Android. Microsoft So, what about the BlackBerry? Of course, there is no application of the quality of the factors, but if the real application can not be said, the quality of how to talk about it? Our fears and doubts about blackberries are not over. Since the BlackBerry App Store has nearly 1/3 applications that don't count as apps, the BlackBerryAudit, then who can guarantee that the remaining 2/3 applications and how many similar to the 47,000 applications through the audit and entered the BlackBerry application store? When it comes to BlackBerry audits, our questions follow. Is it that so many apps called S4BB developers have never been noticed by BlackBerry? It is common sense that the odds are slim. So why should the BlackBerry turn a blind eye? Well, say, it's the BlackBerry that deliberately ignores it (mainly in order to keep its number of apps up), to the bad guess, the developer named S4bb is likely to be the BlackBerry itself in the name of S4BB for their own app store development applications, not for anything else, just for impostors. BlackBerry really needs to give the industry a logical explanation. Otherwise, if our guess turns out to be true, the loss of BlackBerry is much more than a small number of applications and low quality. It's about BlackBerry's reputation and image. Especially when BlackBerry is looking for a sale or a partnership. At the same time as the S4BB incident, the industry will be the future of BlackBerry phone shipments down, including BlackBerry 10 shipments of the reduction of up to 20%. The continued weakness of hardware sales in two important parts of the ecosystem, the low number and quality of applications, and the industry's doubts about the existence of the BlackBerry ecosystem. In that case, whether the BlackBerry chooses to sell (who dares to buy it) or its own (what it takes) is not the BlackBerry's way out, because there is no way out.
