RIM Is Readying Blackberry 10 Devices

By Shaine Murray


Research In Motion could possibly be hoping to hold discussion posts with Samsung covering the likelihood of the handset producer licensing its BlackBerry 10 OS.

In a communication to tech news presently, Jefferies expert Peter Misek said he emphasizes that "RIM is endeavoring to revive considerations with Samsung about a BB10 licensing deal," in keeping with All Things Digital, which attained a copy of the note. Misek don't state if interactions have kicked off yet and if so, how far he trusts they have gone.

Rumors are actually whirling for a little while that Samsung and also RIM are actually having talks. Even so, many of those gossips was around the thought that Samsung was thinking about obtaining RIM completely -- a chance that Samsung has flatly turned down.

Speaking with Reuters in January, Samsung spokesman James Chung thought that his business has never "considered obtaining" RIM and is "not interested" in such deal.

BlackBerry 10 is slated to be RIM's upcoming mobile OS introduction. The main system was supposed to be offered this year, even so the business, which pronounces it desires to assure the software is ready for prime time, has overdue it to early the coming year. BlackBerry 10 is readily conceived to be the platform that could make or even break RIM.

Licensing, having said that, could be a further solid method for the business to bring in many dollars. In addition to RIM CEO Thorsten Heins is definitely not against licensing its software to other businesses.

"To deliver BB10 we may ought to have a look at licensing it to somebody who can do this at a way better cost proposition than I can perform it," Heins informed the Telegraph in an interview a week ago. "There's unique opportunities we might do that we are at the moment researching."

Heins don't say irrespective of whether Samsung was required in those solutions.
