Another one bites the dust. Blackberry Stops Making Phones


It’s official. BlackBerry Ltd., the Canadian company that invented the smartphone and addicted legions of road warriors to the “crackberry,” has stopped making its iconic handsets.

Finally conceding defeat in a battle it had long ago lost to Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., BlackBerry is handing over production of the phones to overseas partners while it turns its full attention to the more profitable and growing software business.
