Most of the comments here are focusing on the OS. It's not about the OS. It's about the ecosystem - the apps marketplace. They can come up with a great OS, like Windows did, but without the ecosystem, consumers will not use it. A smartphone without apps is a dumb phone.

But BB10 already supports the ecosystem. They have an Android runtime and it ships with the Amazon AppStore.
