Blackberry Moving Completely To Android In 2016.. by safo99(m): 3:46pm On Jan 08, 2016
Following the moderate commercial success and generally positive reception of its latest Priv smartphone, BlackBerry has announced that it is going all-in as far as Android is concerned. Company CEO John Chen confirmed in an interview at CES that all BlackBerry smartphones launched this year will run Google's operating system. One could say this move has been a long time coming, and it's better late than never. Once an industry juggernaut, BlackBerry has struggled for a good part of the last decade to find favor with new users, who care increasingly less about BlackBerry's core strengths in enterprise and security and more about things like apps and games, something the now distinctly long in tooth BlackBerry OS was never good at. The move to Android has already won the company some brownie points in the past few weeks so it's good to see the company continue down that road. Chen refused to comment on the availability and details of the upcoming devices.

that's what samsung normally do when microsoft upgrades their OS,"galaxies" are not only for the great android,the first samsung tab running windows was the galaxy Ativ during windows 8,then followed by galaxy Ativ 2,during windows 8.1,so this dead on arrival windows 10,samsung will surely try their luck too,even other OEMs,but at the end,all of them will still return to the great android....the only threat to the great Android is that fruity company and I believe with time,they too will pass,as for windows mobile,that one is dead already,what goes around comes around,they killed my lovely Nokia and hoping to live? That's a mission impossible! (Rogue Nation).

Stop the misinformation.
Samsung is a multi-OS company. It builds for Android, Tizen and Windows.
It makes more money than any other OM from Android.
Their flagship tablet, the S - series are still the most Powerful Android tablet.
Samsung has no plan of dropping Android for now.
It develops Tizen to avoid 100% reliance on Google Android.
