The latest official statement on BlackBerry plans came from John Chen's Managing Director, who said he would release an Android smartphone, but it's only safe.
Well, it looks like BlackBerry will try to make the Android platform safer, or at least try to mobilize Google on this issue.
Today, the Canadian company announced a new partnership with Google. Both companies will now work together for the application some important features of BES12 on the Android platform.
Google should have BlackBerry's expertise in business security, while BlackBerry will be able to tap into the huge Android market that could bring even more customers to the company.
BES12 already supports Android Lollipop, but BlackBerry's security solution should start supporting Google Play for Work, so he can focus on application management.
According to BlackBerry, "new features available through Android and BES12 will enable organizations to further secure business and personal data on Android devices. We've put new levels of encryption into the hardware, and with the integration of Google Play for Work, there will be more app management capabilities, while providing the end user with the Android management experience.”
This information was announced by BlackBerry, but we expect the Canadian company to issue an official announcement in the coming days.
Until then, BlackBerry has announced the release of BES12 in the 12.2 version, which has improved multi-OS support.
The release of BES12 12.2 can be considered as the first step in implementing the BlackBerry security solution in large operating systems.
