RIM considered the possibility of developing Android smartphones

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.

Nexus 10 could be in development

Not yet a week after the official launch of Google Nexus 7 and already there are rumors on the web about a new version of the tablet but larger. For some, it seems a logical step, and if so, Google would be doing the same as Samsung did, premiering first a 7-inch tablet and later one of 10 inches (Tab 10.1).

About what we know is if Asus will also work on this project. We assume that the latter depends mainly on the success you achieve the new Nexus 7, which certainly can be seen in the picture above.
