It all started from Nokia, when they ported their OS from Windows to Android by introducing Nokia XL running on Android OS even though it has limited internal memory. I’ve over head some IOS users complaining of being tired of iOS devices, and needed to make some changes by using Android devices…
Now, its blackberry…
Its been rumored that their next device may come with an Android operating system. According to the report, the move to use Android is part of BlackBerry's strategy to pivot to focus on software and device management. BlackBerry, which once dominated smartphone sales, now has a market share of less than 1 percent.
Though It isn't clear from the report if this shift would be for one particular upcoming smartphone, or if it would be a larger move away from BlackBerry 10.
My question now is, what is so special about Android OS that every body want to port to it? To all blackberry users like my grandma, we’ll be glad to welcome you to Android Club.
