BlackBerry may consider exiting the handsets business.
Early Thursday morning, BlackBerry CEO John Chen was reported to have said in an interview with Reuters, “If I cannot make money on handsets, I will not be in the handset business.” Later on the in the day, he said that quote was taken out of context.
BlackBerry is more than just handsets, however. Under Chen, the company has been broken up into four segments: devices such as its handsets, enterprise services, messaging (the BBM platform) and QNX (BlackBerry’s operating system for embedded systems).
Are BlackBerrys about to go extinct forever?
