BlackBerry is condering releasing a smartphone that’s powered by Google’s Android operating system, reports Reuters. The move would be an about-face for the Waterloo, Ontario-based company, which had shunned Android in a bet that its BlackBerry 10 line of phones would be able to claw back market share lost to Apple’s iPhone and a slew of devices powered by Android.The sources claim that the move is part of BlackBerry’s strategy to focus on software and device management, instead of mobile operating systems. BES12, BlackBerry’s device management system, helps corporate and government clients manage devices on their own internal networks. BlackBerry once dominated smartphone sales, but now has a marketshare of less than 1 percent.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
