BlackBerry 10

A US judge rejected a request by BlackBerry to dismiss a lawsuit accusing the company maker of misleading shareholders about the sales prospects for BlackBerry 10 devices, Reuters reported.

BlackBerry said it will continue to support owners of its legacy devices for another year, but its Android-powered Priv line had reached the end of the line for regular updates.

BlackBerry provided (another) update on its BlackBerry 10 platform, while still not addressing the key question – its plans for new BB10 hardware.

BlackBerry is reported to be readying its next Android-powered device, which will see the adoption of the company’s traditional keypad – and making its BlackBerry 10 efforts look even less sustainable.

With the future of BlackBerry as a major app platform looking increasingly uncertain, the company is still attempting to generate developer interest among its developer partners.

It emerged that a single developer is responsible for more than 47,000 titles available in BlackBerry World, taking the shine off the 120,000 apps touted by BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins in May.
