BlackBerry is considering all kinds of options for the company as it tries to get its feet back on solid ground. Apparently, the company is even thinking about creating a bacteria free phone for use in hospitals. BlackBerry CEO, John Chen, recently confirmed the company is looking at such an option for a future device.
During a recent visit to a hospital north of Toronto, Mr. Chen announced a project that would provide nurses and doctors in a Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital unit with a portable messaging and alert system. He also spoke about a bacteria free phone.
Although they are not currently working on a bacteria free phone, it could be something that would allow BlackBerry to differentiate themselves from the pack. It could be a nice niche market to keep BlackBerry in the game.
