Newly
appointed CEO of BlackBerry, John Chen has not failed to confirm that
the Canadian brand would still produce smartphones in the coming years. He even warned that it would take at least a year and a half to improve the condition of the manufacturer.
We reported yesterday that BlackBerry had finally backed down in its quest for a potential redeemer. At the same time, the manufacturer announced it was separating its current CEO, Thorsten Heins. The latter will remain in all and for all 22 months at the helm of the Canadian company, since he took office in January 2012. However, he can always console himself with his golden parachute that could reach $ 22 million.
Least six quarters
In the process, it was John Chen, who took control of the company. In his first speaking, he delivered a message of hope to fans of BlackBerry smartphones. It was indeed found that the manufacturer would not stop producing phones. Quoted by Reuters, he said he was there to lay the foundations for a long-term reconstruction. He even predicted it would take at least six fiscal quarters begin to redress the balance.
Towards a license BlackBerry 10?
However, John Chen has refused to answer a question about the fact to
dismiss the BlackBerry 10 operating system to other manufacturers, such
as Dell. The new CEO of BlackBerry was taken to be with Michael Dell when he worked for the investment fund Silver Lakes. Some analysts also do not hesitate to speculate that this is one of the reasons why John Chen was appointed to this position.
