3 Excellent Reasons BlackBerry may expand its consumer base
Last week we heard rumors that BlackBerry has cancelled the production of BlackBerry Storm 3 because it was similar to the BlackBerry Storm5 9550. But if you are under the perception that BlackBerry is not planning to launch new products sooner, then you are in for a surprise. There are four reasons which would lead us to believe that BlackBerry is in fact working on diversifying its market and increasing its customer base.
- Jefferies & Co., a New York based reputed Analyst firm has stated that RIM is working on three different Storm 3 devices. The first device was a tactual touch mobile which was pulled out and the second device will be a non-tactual touch mobile with “similar thickness and more memory” than BlackBerry 6. The third device is a Storm 3 device which looks like an iPhone but has a slimmer, slick look.
- Jefferies & Co. has also confirmed that RIM is improving BlackBerry Applications world by mixing it with QNX titles, which will run on RIM Playbook tablet and it will be launched in the first quarter of 2011.
- RIM is planning to launch Playbook 2 with two screen sizes and 3 G and 4 G forms in the second quarter of 2011.
The declaration of these new launches shows us the chances of increase in BlackBerry customer base. Even it will also encourage the need of new BlackBerry application development. Better speed and functionality, would give better user experience which will bring rise in the demand of customized BlackBerry applications. The enterprises, who believe in early adoption, can take this opportunity and launch attractive BlackBerry applications as well as BlackBerry compatible websites which make their brand stronger in the market.

BlackBerry, facing stiff competition from Motorola’s Droid Pro
Research in Motion is in danger of losing their supremacy in the mobile market after Motorola announced its business – savvy Droid Pro Smartphone. It is a good substitute to BlackBerry Torch. Some of the head-on features of Droid Pro includes: 3.1 inch touch screen, full Qwerty Keyboard, the latest Android software version 2.0, 7.0 hours of talk time and 4.7 ouches of weight. And in comparison, the BlackBerry Torch has 3.2 inch touch screen, Slide-out Qwerty Keyboard and OS6 operating system, 5.5 hours of talk time, and 5.6n ounces of weight.
So far the brand visibility of BlackBerry was superior in terms of enterprise mobile phone but now with so many new entrants, BlackBerry is losing its ground in that market too. Apple and Motorola are giving a very stiff competition to BlackBerry.
Some of the advantages of Droid Pro are;
- It has enhanced security features, remote phone management and data encryption, battery with a higher voltage, and 7 hours of talk time (almost two hours more than the Torch). In addition, because of Android 2.2 it can also display Adobe Flash elements in its browser.
- Like most Android phones, the Droid Pro can also share its 3G Internet connection with up to 5 other devices via WiFi, something which the Torch is not capable of.
- Another feature that has been added in Droid Pro is Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync technology. This gives an advantage to corporate users by giving them the liberty to get their work e-mail pushed to their phones. As RIM’s push technology has made a killer impact on corporate, we need to wait and watch how the same feature offered by Droid Pro affects BlackBerry in the long run.
What would you choose then- Droid Pro or BlackBerry? Come to an expert Mobile application developer and get the answers for your queries now. Contact us at info@softwebsolutions.com to know more.
5 major competitors of much awaited Blackberry PlayBook Tablet
Introduction of BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet and its impact on the market
5 major competitors of much awaited Blackberry PlayBook Tablet
Research in Motion Limited (RIM), one of the leading BlackBerry Smartphone manufacturers announced the launch of its much anticipated product, BlackBerry PlayBook tablet on September 27th 2010. It is also known as BlackBerry BlackPad (Cobalt) that offers full OpenGL and POSIX support alongside web standards such as HTML5. It is powered by the recently acquired QNX operating system.
It is observed that although this product is one of the most powerful tablets with an outstanding technology, there are a few competitors who are gaining an edge over the product. Thus, it is very difficult to presume whether BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet would be a smashing hit in the market.
Let us check some of the similar products offered by the competitors here:
iOS: iOS, introduced by Apple, is one of the most praised operating systems in the Consumer-focused smart phones market. Being associated with the brand name of iTunes AppStore gives an edge to iOS in creating a large customer base and thus, increase its visibility in the market.
Android: Google is planning to launch a tablet version of Android in the near future. Although Android is not scheduled to be launched with larger screens and higher screen resolution on tablets in near future, Google has started working on tablet-optimized version of Android. The Android OS consists of an impressive list of mobile applications but has not rolled out an integrated distribution and payment platform for apps and media.
MeeGo: Intel and Nokia have entered into a joint venture wherein both the organizations will harness their competencies. Intel wishes its chips in the tablets and Nokia wants a platform for high-end devices. If things fall into perspective, MeeGo would help Nokia’s plan to enter the U.S. Smartphone market early next year.
webOS: HP owns Palm and thus, their webOS. WebOS can be considered as one of the major competitors of BlackBerry PlayBook and has the potential to threaten the position of BlackBerry PlayBook in the market. HP having sufficient resources to market webOS can give a tough competition to iPad and BlackBerry.
Windows: When we talk about technology, the very first name that comes to our mind is Microsoft. Although Microsoft did not show much interest in the mobile market earlier, they have rectified their mistake with the decision to launch a completely improvised Windows 7 platform. It is very difficult to gauge the outcome of Windows Phone 7 in the market, as WP7 isn’t free and that might have an effect on its acceptance in the market.
Having glanced at the list of competitors, we can surely say that BlackBerry is going to face a very tough battle with some of the competitors mentioned above. But we need to wait to see how the brand performs as they have a very limited customer base. And so, at this point of time the launch of PlayBook can play a very crucial role.
