BlackBerry New and Improved
There is a lot happening with BlackBerry lately–it’s about time. It seems as if BlackBerry has fallen far behind competition in the smartphone race and I was beginning to lose hope.

Race May Affect Your Smartphone Purchase
On February 1st, The Neilson Company released statistical data that displayed the smartphone preferences of consumers based on race. About a third of Americans use a smarthphone. The study found that in the United States, minority groups comprise the largest proportion of smartphone users. Neilson used four racial groupings: White, Hispanic, African American and Asian/Pacific Islander. Surprisingly, White consumers reported the lowest percentage of smartphone ownership at 27%. Asian/Pacific Islanders and Hispanics tie with 45% of each group reporting to own a smartphone. African Americans fall below with 33% reporting ownership of a smartphone. These statistics are even higher when accounting for recent phone purchases. The minority groups outrank Whites in this category as well by up to eighteen percentage points.

The world, as we’ve grown to understand and relate to it, has changed and this change couldn’t be more unwelcomed.
