The Canadian manufacturer was once a market leader in smartphones and introduced a number of new features into the market, such as a smartphone that could connect with a push email account and still be going into the second day, but the company continued to use physical keyboards rather than adopt the becoming-fashionable switch to capacitive touchscreen technology. The business acquired QNX, which would become the platform for BlackBerry 10 (and the operating system present on the BlackBerry Playbook tablet) and has steadily been releasing new devices running the new software. Indeed, when BlackBerry 10 was released running on the BlackBerry Z10, this contained some of the better features of Android, iOS and Web OS put into a handset with very good signal and voice call clarity, but sadly underpowered in the battery department.
