That's exactly what first came to mind.... SERVICES! This could bring in a boatload of fresh revenue for BlackBerry. Excellent news.

-Cheers.

It won't make a dent in there revenues, its an accounting adjustment. What is someone willing to pay for such a tool or service when they barely afford firewalls. I own and run a company with over a hundred employees, I have no interest in affording for such things to separate my employees work and personal phone systems. At some point I have to draw the line on how far I trust them, and the relative cost to enforce that trust. I'm not about to install such mechanisms, nor hire the people to administrate it. Even if I thought I would buy such a tool, blackberry doesn't come first to mind, far from it.

Hello My Fellow BB Believers...This is an appropriate and proffessional way a company conducts itself. Meaning, BB(Canada) not only develops the tools but also shares the tools to the competition to utilize...to make the competition more productive.

All, this is the way business is normally conducted in Canada...we are the Nation of Proffessional Sharers...IMO

You just have to love this....Take care.

When every system, app, feature and functionality on every mobile device is open and available to all no matter which device they use, then we can move well past this silly "vanilla or chocolate" spat over which phone is best and then perhaps concentrate on bigger things that truly matter. That silly spat is not the use for which we were given large brains, but somehow we like to persist in behaving like birdbrains.

Question to the Author. Is this your vision of where BBRY is heading? or there is a reliable source you can reference to this direction?
Although it may sound like a good / great idea, It means nothing if it is not confirmed by BBRY, Apple & Samsung.

this has been demoed in their blackberry experience forum. it's not a vision or vaporware, it's reality that will exist on their BES 10 MDM solution. i believe q3-q4.

The market for such tools is very small, sure its a nice broadening of the platform, and an adjacent market, but its not the core, and its a very small market. It won't make much of an impact, if any.

Well, this could help (BBRY) gain market share. At $7.75 billion market cap, a $30 billion market cap doesn't seem unreasonable.

<The move comes as corporate and government clients increase their use of iPhones and Android devices, and as Samsung (SSNLF.PK) makes its own play for larger customers who are worried about security. (PR)>

What sort of security and protection can one expect from an entity that is a convicted spy and thief (Samsung)?
