If the rumours are true, this leaves just one BlackBerry 10 device in the works, codenamed 'London'. Photos and specs of the BlackBerry London were leaked to The Verge in November 2011, showing a purely touchscreen device equipped with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage and an 8-megapixel camera.
Techworld contacted RIM for comment but the company was unable to respond at the time of writing.
The rumours do not bode well for the future of BlackBerry 10, which RIM was forced to rename last month after its use of the BBX brand ran into a trademark dispute in the US. The company has already delayed the launch of its QNX-based devices phones until the 'later part' of 2012, claiming that it wants to use a more advanced chipset that will offer improved power efficiency.
Meanwhile, shipments of RIM's PlayBook tablet - also based on QNX - continue to drop. The company shipped 150,000 during the third quarter of 2011, which ended on 26 November, compared with 200,000 in the second quarter. Net income also dropped dramatically to $265 million, compared with $911 million during the same period in 2010.
Rumours emerged earlier this week at RIM is on the verge of announcing a corporate shakeup that could see co-founders Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie relinquish their titles as co-chairmen. Independent director Barbara Stymiest is tipped to replace the pair as the company's first ever independent chair, following an internal review of the company's governance structure.
RIM agreed to the review last year after activist shareholder Jaguar Financial launched a campaign calling for the company to sack its chief executives. The calls came amid a series of technical faults that left millions of customers around the world without their BlackBerry services.
| Each formed person should love and understand art – the literature, painting, music, cinema. There are people who equally love books, musik , pictures, an opera, films etc. I cannot tell that I concern different displays of art equally ardently. At present priority for me is cinema. The cinema is a surprising art. The cinema is likely the lung for perception and the understanding, the most accessible art. The cinema is a fast art. If to read the book, week film viewing occupies a maximum of hour three is necessary to the average person a minimum. |
