Back in QWERTY-dominated ERA blackberry phones were considered to be the status symbol of a person, they were like the Rolls Royce of cell phones. But as “EVERY PRIDE HAS A FALL”, the advent of touch screen era brought many firms on the verge of liquidation, like blackberry and Nokia, etc.
Early BLACKBERRY tried to modify its BB OS into touchscreen, as what Nokia did with Symbian. But the things didn’t change for both of them. As a result Nokia shifted its focus towards WP8 and dump Symbian.
Whereas BLACKBERRY still sticking to its own new heavily gestures based Operating System “BB 10”, which involves a big touchscreen. It provide a great Interface for the users and a dual-core krait CPU, Dual-cores are now old news on Android.
But BB10 and i OS are on the same page in this regard. Both are optimized to run on a very few type of devices. BB 10, in particular, has only one device under his platform until now, so it is allowing the maximum efficiency by hardware.
