Microsoft could lose the battle against Ford Sync for BlackBerry - ALT1040

Ford is considering abandoning Microsoft for Ford Sync system and would use the BlackBerry QNX system.

By Jaume Sánchez

February 23, 2014, 22:26

of battle is brewing in the technological world is more virulent, undoubtedly, those related to cars and technology that will be implemented in these. The trend is clear: the vehicles will be increasingly connected and every day we hear more strongly the advent of “smart cars”. iOS in the car has been, perhaps, the technology applied to cars in the sense most listened to, although I’m sure that Android is not far behind. So the news that Ford bet on BlackBerry to incorporate technology in their vehicles at the expense of Microsoft is a lot more important than it may seem news.

This was discussed in Bloomberg, which reported that sources claim related to Ford Sync system that his next will come with BlackBerry QNX technology, leaving the system used so far, based on Windows.

The first reason why Ford would be interested in using QNX is primarily economic: license BlackBerry system is much cheaper than the Microsoft System . What’s more, at a time when the importance of communication systems are increasingly important in the vehicles, Ford is aware of the need to improve their Sync system and the abandonment of Microsoft for BlackBerry would be a facelift to the system, incorporating substantial improvements.

QNX BlackBerry software, in fact, is more than consolidated and is currently in BMW, Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. The news is a cold shower for Microsoft and a victory for a battered BlackBerry. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, is a giant step for BlackBerry in an industry that is going to be increasingly competitive with iOS and Android in the Car with agreements with General Motors and Hyundai, among others.

TORONTO (Reuters) – BlackBerry

actions are strengthened by the offer of Facebook 19,000 million for WhatsApp, as investors bet that the platform messenger smartphone maker has been undervalued.

This Thursday

titles earned 5.6%, to $ 9.52, after ending Wednesday at around $ 9.54, above the $ 9.01 the end of the session.

agreement between Facebook and WhatsApp yesterday announced increases valuation metrics around messaging service BlackBerry Messaging.

BlackBerry Messaging, or BBM, was a message service for mobile pioneer, but its user base has not managed to keep up with WhatsApp or other new entrants, partly because for a long time refused to open BlackBerry service to users on other platforms.

WhatsApp, with a user base of about 450 million, has grown rapidly. His service operates in the Apple iOS platform, the operating system Google Android leader and driven operating systems Windows and BlackBerry devices.

BBM remains popular, though BlackBerry devices have lost fame. Late last year, the Canadian company based in Waterloo, Ontario finally opened the messaging platform for users of iPhone and Android mobile devices, and the number of active users of the service has grown to more than 80 million.

BBM - Blackberry Messenger for Android adds stickers and ... - The Free Android

Blackberry blog we learned a new word. Blackberry has announced that from now can be downloaded stickers to make our conversations more fun in BBM. Since version 2.0 of BBM with voice calls is launched, it became compatible with 2.3 Gingerbread and now downloadable content from the store.

Packs of stickers on characters of series and movies

These stickers will be in packs we have to buy through BBM store . Each pack of stickers contains about 20 or 25 different . These packs are set in CosCat, Gilbert’s Tales, Bubble Bot and more. You can also find your favorite characters in a series or film-shaped sticker. I think about Adventure Time stickers would be the least funny and expected right?

Currently, this is limited and beta phase . But as this service is stable and more number of stickers will beta to open to the public are added, we assume that in a few weeks or days, beset by competition competition

What do you think this addition?

Defensive move or just a improvement?

The decision to incorporate

packs downloadable stickers can be a way to compete with the courier characterized by stickers, Line . Recently, Line launched for its users in your text shop so they could buy a custom theme for your application, in addition, can also be obtained very different stickers. If Line has, BBM can not be less.

Also, in my opinion, I think this has been a movement a little defense to the rapidly expanding as Whatsapp is having lately. Facebook are having success these stickers and Line too, so that you can reach BBM also succeed. If you look, Whatsapp has variety of emoticons but no stickers. Do ask Whatsapp users
