Computerworld – Potential bidders for BlackBerry are only interested in parts of the business, concluding that the firm’s smartphones, such as the recent Q10 and Z10, have little or no value, reports say.
Bidders from private equity firms are interested mostly in the BB 10 operating system that powers the new BlackBerry smartphones, along with selected patents related to keyboards, unnamed sources familiar with the potential sale told news agency Reuters.
BlackBerry on Aug. 12 formed a special committee to look into a possible sale of the company, “other transactions” and the creation of joint ventures and alliances.
BlackBerry declined comment on the Reuters report.
