Thorsten Heins, CEO of RIM, has recently released a very interesting detail: company even considered the possibility of neglecting the BlackBerry operating system and start working with another popular platform, Android.
Finally, the idea was scrapped and instead chose to continue developing its own platform, which probably led to the development of BlackBerry 10, which as has been said lately could be offered to other companies making phones .
Returning to the subject, while Android may have saved enough time to RIM as far as development is concerned, Heins believes that Android is a platform-oriented entertainment, the game already media, and serves to provide the user experience look who use BlackBerry, which implies that the BB platform is "more serious" than that developed by Google .
What do you think would have happened if RIM chose to use Android? For now we will see what happens with the BlackBerry exit 10, and time will tell if the company made the right bet.
