BlackBerry's new partnership with Goggle

The rumors credences about of BlackBerry making a new Android-powered device when BlackBerry recently acquired two new domains-

• AndroidSecured.com
• AndroidSecured.net

The rumors were confirmed after BlackBerry's announcement to tie up with google to produce a new Android powered device.BlackBerry further supported this announcement by rolling out the new update to BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12 with integrating Samsung KNOX and Android for work.

The move of creating an Android-powered device is probably to back up their poor sales.And with this new update BlackBerry is sure to attract some attention towards it.

The new Samsung KNOX workspace allows the users of BES12 to use their Samsung Galaxy devices in work mode, personal mode and Workspace only mode. This update will particularly allow companies with more choices in the matters of security.

And with Android for work, users can now create a separate profile for both personal and corporate info.Apart from these BlackBerry also did some minor changes such as integration of BlackBerry 10 with BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus, allowing secure access to company's data without the use of VPN's.

Surely BlackBerry wants to get back in the game, which it showed by merging the security of Android and the class of BlackBerry.The two domains now direct us to a page which tells about the newly found partnership between Google and BlackBerry.

The site suggest's that the new BlackBerry device will have BES12 supporting Android lollipop to confidently deploy Android devices to your organistion.By the looks of it the device will probably;y be inclined towards the business class rather than common crowd.

Will the new BlackBerry device fail or pass only time will tell. But surely BlackBerry did some nifty job in coming back from the dead.Stay tuned to STJS Gadgets for more such information, follow us on Twitter & Facebook for more.
