Facebook and Whatsapp Discontinue Support For Blackberry (canadajournal.net)

Meshach writes with a link to news that as of yesterday, Facebook and WhatsApp have both discontinued support for Blackberry smartphones including BlackBerry 10 and BBOS platforms. Apparently Blackberry fought to have the support continue but in the end they were not successful. BlackBerry has had to replaced their official Facebook App with a native app that uses a simple web interface. If you're still using a Blackberry, it would be interesting to know why. (You like the interface? Business requirement? Just being contrarian?)

Blackberry and QNX by Archfeld · 2016-03-20 05:29 · Score: 5, Informative

Whether or not blackberry devices survive is very much in the balance, but Blackberry the company is making a bundle on their QNX OS, which is quietly powering a huge number of devices in very diverse markets.
