BlackBerry could have a new, yet familiar, taste.
According to a new report from Reuters, the former market-leading
Canadian mobile device maker is considering equipping an upcoming
smartphone with Google’s Android, the dynamic OS that powers phones and
tablets made by Samsung, Sony, LG, and others.
There
are few specifics in the report –– most notably, whether the rumored
BlackBerry Android phone would carry Google branding and offer access to
its mobile app Play store. Amazon’s Fire tablets and phones, for
instance, are built on versions of the open-sourced Android operating
system that are not licensed by Google, and thus offer only apps from
its Amazon Appstore.
As typical of most rumors, the companies involved have declined to comment.
