 Executive criticizes BlackBerry Samsung KNOX on your business blog (Image Source: Press Release / Samsung)

new executive in charge of business services department of the BlackBerry, John Sims, does not have a very positive opinion about the Samsung software KNOX – and makes sure that everyone knows that. In the official company blog, he published a paper which speaks of a university in Israel who found a flaw that allowed the Galaxy S4 to intercept data from your device -. Problem that the South Korean manufacturer would have attributed to Android and Google

However, this justification has not prevented Sims harshly criticized the rival security solution – according to him, the app only works on specific products and is not a good option for enterprise environments that allow employees to use their own gadgets. “There are a significant number of companies in which the BYOD (” Bring your own device ‘or’ bring your own device ‘) is the way forward. The KNOX lacks the necessary for the flexibility consolidation of this trend, “he said.

“How Samsung is still struggling to test their platform for companies and is still fixing security bugs, the industries that have the need for more stringent protection can trust that there is nothing safer than a BlackBerry device managed by a server Corporate BlackBerry – and point. And that is why we are the only vendor enterprise solutions and handset maker that received the ‘Authority to Operate’ certificate from the Department of Defense, “adds Sims.

According to the executive, his company is responsible for 61% dominate the business market of mobile devices, which aims to expand participation in the near future. Currently, BlackBerry has 80,000 customers between businesses and government agencies, proving able to manage both proprietary devices as iOS and Android devices -., And soon, must also support smartphones with Windows Phone System

BlackBerry Samsung attacks and lack of security in the devices ... - Digital Look

BlackBerry is having a great day and their investors are more than happy with the 10% jump that actions had on Tuesday, 21. The approval of devices for use by the U.S. Department of Defense helped the company’s business, which took the opportunity to gloat over rival Samsung.

Canadian admits that her image with the consumer is not the best, so I decided to turn their efforts to the corporate market, which still has the reputation of producing the most reliable software in the market. The same space is contested by Samsung with the Knox system that provides an extra layer of protection for the top of the line appliances (Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3, for example).

The charges released by the company in its official blog remember serious security flaws found by Israeli security researchers precisely at Knox. Samsung says the problem is with Android, but that does not exonerate it to BlackBerry.

“Samsung released a statement saying that the vulnerability was Android, but it just shows the challenge Samsung is to continue developing the Knox to survive in a hostile environment, “says the post.

Then John Sims, president of global corporate services, who signs the post brags of how the service by BlackBerry is ideal for businesses and governments who can not afford to allow the leakage of sensitive data and how the tools offered by it are the ones to receive the seal of approval from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Another question raised is how Knox is limited to a few handsets from Samsung, limiting the application of the trend of BYOD (“bring your own device” in English). “There are a significant number of corporations where BYOD is the future. Knox has no flexibility to BYOD.”

Alicia Keys with a Q10

As we reported already, Alicia Keys will no longer be the Global Creative Director of BlackBerry at the end of January. However, it seems that the singer is still dedicated to Canadian platform.

Alicia Keys posted on Google+ a picture of her with a BlackBerry Q10. As we can see in text near the image on Google+ posting, the singer was on the way to a meeting with the first lady Michelle Obama to talk about the state of education in the United States.

But the curious thing is that the photo was taken by an iPhone 5. Not that this is a problem, since each platform has its advantages and can not be treated as a religion. But it’s funny anyway.

Alicia Keys leaving the post in BlackBerry, who will be the next Global Creative Director? I believe no one, since it is not a “real” position and does the style of the new CEO, John Chen.

Recently, sued the makers of BlackBerry TYPO an iPhone case with a similar manufactured and patented) by brand keyboard. Although the company has won the cause, this is not the only case with which the mark need not worry.

SoloMatrix is ??making a much more interesting case than TYPO itself, which also has a keyboard on most BlackBerry style. Unlike TYPO, Spike does not cover the iPhone’s Home button, but has a kind of hinge that lets you open and close the keyboard, accessing the screen and Home button whenever necessary.

Although Spike has TYPO smaller than the keys, it is also cheaper. While TYPO cost $ 100, Spike is on sale for $ 60. Apparently, the trend of covers with QWERTY keyboards will not stop there.
