That new CEO isn't fun at all on twitter. I want that Marc Dillon back already. Can't wait for the next CEO change.

. . . what am wondering is how will they have stuff like back buttons
Given that Android compatibility is a key strategy for both Sailfish and BB10, what are the developmental blocks? I mean, BlackBerry would be better served getting 4.1/4.2/4.3(?) compatible Android solution to market ASAP and so would Sailfish. But Google may want to keep an advantage by staying one Android version ahead.
The real question is, can these software companies (Sailfish and BB) keep up with Google's update cycle because I'm not sure what, if anything, keeps them off the lead lap of the race. What I AM certain about is that being off of the lead lap results in a noticeable and potentially serious software disadvantage.
So, is it technologically feasible for a company to keep its Android compatibility current with Android itself???? Can/does Google do something to handicap the Android compatibility of companies like Jolla and BB to keep them at least one step behind?
Enquiring minds want to know . . .

Given this, it allows a bit of breathing space for the likes of BB and Jolla to ensure their sh*t is in a heap with regard to VM/emulation.
I am surprised that BB is running such an old version of android on their player. It severely restricts application compatibility as well as requiring old apk's that will be missing a lot of more recent functionality.

Seriously? If you can't run the latest it's really not needed at all. I had no clue that BB only ran old stuff. How old?
