Chen was last month quoted as saying that his tenure will see Blackberry returning to its roots and heritages. Again, at the ongoing International Consumer Electronics CES Show, in Las Vegas he has also in several presentations expressed his love for the keyboards.
If
Chen’s back to roots and heritages promise is anything to tie with his
love for keyboards, it is obviously glaring that all round touch screen
as can be seen in Z10 may take long to surface again. Qwerty Keyboard is
one of the most significant roots and heritages of Blackberry.However, BlackBerry’s body language shows it would now be building devices predominantly with physical keyboards.
But in reality the new CEO may have some quality argument to support his plan. Several analysts have argued that despite positive reviews of the software and hardware, BlackBerry 10 and its devices have failed to resonate with consumers, mostly due to a lack of apps and the difficulty of gaining meaningful market traction because of the dominance of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.
Now Chen’s joker is to return some emphasis to Blackberry’s corporate and government customers, who were largely responsible for the early successes the company recorded.
Research In Motion (RIM), created a revolution in the mobile industry in 1999 with the introduction of the BlackBerry solution. In a matter of months, BlackBerry products and services caught up with millions of customers around the world, helping them to stay connected to the people
The BB messenger which it introduced later, cut the bug and has remained an addiction to many, irrespective of age and gender. But the entrance and subsequent deep penetration of Apple iOS based products and Google Androind platforms, the fortunes of Blackberry have faced serious threats.
Iyaeko opens a new world of culture-tech
Gone are the days when the only culture you cared about was that of your own ancestors. The entire world has been shrunk into one global village with diverse cultures. These cultures come with a mish-mash of clothing, food, traditions et al. As a lone citizen of this global village, it’s easy to get lost in maze; to misunderstand what these different features mean or worse to not appreciate just how diverse our world is.
That’s where Iyaeko comes in- a new image sharing social networking website www.iyaeko.com- is aimed at promoting images that showcase the very best of world cultures/heritage through inspiring attires, fashion, make-up, events and designs. Within its first week, the site had over 1,000 visitors and generated close to 8,000 page views with an average user spending almost 5 minutes browsing through the 16,000+ images that have been uploaded to the site.
Adetola Oredope, the founder of Iya Eko, says that the new website is very much about bringing the world together under a culturally inspired platform. He said: “Iyaeko.com has been created at such a time as this, where Fashion designers, event managers and lovers of style seek out ways to inspire their creativity as well as celebrate the diversity in culture. The website which features a strong social element prides itself as having the largest collection of culturally related fashion trends that have been carefully selected from [Facebook owned image sharing social network] Instagram.”
