John Chen is the CEO of the company Blackberry for more than a year and in a recent interview he spoke about a problem that affects the platform developed by Canadians and that prevents a substantial increase in the number of users.
CEO Blackberry, John Chen, finally admitted that the Blackberry platform has too few applications available for users using its smartphones, and this is known not only by Blackberry users, but also by the rest of the world.
Chen claims that although Blackberry smartphones have access to the Amazon App Store, it is not competitive enough with Google Play or the App Store in terms of the number of applications, so users need more, but of course there is none yet a solution offered by him for the problem.
From the discussion regarding the applications, John Chen moved on to the discussions regarding the launch of an Android smartphone produced by Blackberry, John Chen refusing to confirm the rumors, but stating that without collaborating with various manufacturers you cannot survive in such a competitive market.
If you really want to play in the bigger market, you are going to have to be cross-platform. You are going to have to have partners; otherwise you go away.
In this idea, Blackberry will launch this year a smartphone called Blackberry Venice, even if its CEO does not confirm its existence yet, and he should contribute to the increase of the user base of the Canadian manufacturer.
Extremely interesting in this interview is the fact that John Chen publicly admits the problems that the Blackberry company has at the moment, and this confirms the fact that at the head of the company there is a man who seems to know what needs to be solved to bring Blackberry back on the right way".
