The only thing BB ever had going for it was a robust capability for integrating with Enterprise-level email systems. That’s it. The old “wheel” phones were pretty decent, but are ridiculously limited in today’s multi-touch-screen world. The physical keyboard is a nice-to-have, but with predictive typing software becoming more mature, that advantage is quickly going away.
At this point, the only thing that could realistically save BB is a new killer-app product, that somehow revolutionizes the Enterprise email space again. A good path for that would be genuine secure email, but that’s going to be a hard sell after all the nonsense BB went through with releasing the contents of its private mail servers a few years ago.
I wonder if Denninger is still “Long Blackberry”?
