According to a news report by Reuters, may be considering Android as their operating system on an upcoming smartphone.

From Reuters

BlackBerry (BB.TO) is considering equipping an upcoming smartphone with Google Inc.’s (GOOGL.O) Android software for the first time, an acknowledgement that its revamped line of devices has failed to win mass appeal, according to four sources familiar with the matter.

The sources, who asked not to be named as they have not been authorized to discuss the matter publicly, said the move to use Android is part of BlackBerry’s strategy to pivot to focus on software and device management. BlackBerry, which once dominated smartphone sales, now has a market share of less than 1 percent.

It’s not known whether BlackBerry will have two different OS smartphones (BlackBerry 10 and Android) in the future if the news is true.

However, when asked to comment by Reuters, BlackBerry said that it is still committed to BlackBerry 10.

What do you think? Is it going to be a good move by BlackBerry? What if BlackBerry switch over completely to Android OS (No more BlackBerry 10 OS) ?
