http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/story/2013/02/05/business-blackberry-canadian-launch.html
Summary: The new Blackberry Z10 was released in Canadian stores on February 5, 2013. There wasn’t a long line up at stores but there still was a high demand. The companies Rogers and Bell both stated that there were 50% of pre-orders coming from non-Blackberry users. Blackberry hasn’t been doing well compared to other companies over the past few years but after the release of the new Blackberry Z10 the sales have been going up. It is doing well in lots of other countries. Analysts say that the new Blackberry Z10 could do better than the iPhone. The iPhone sold 5M+ in the US in its first weekend and they say that the Blackberry will do even better. The device works very well and it runs its latest operating system, Blackberry 10. It comes with a full, 4.2 inch touch screen. Still, nobody knows how well it will actually do.
Opinion: Blackberry has been at the top for many years but hasn’t been doing well lately. I think that Blackberry will do well as long as they fix up their problems and make even better phones that everybody will enjoy like they used to. The sales are really good right now and I think they will stay like that. Hopefully, everything goes good for Blackberry and I want them to succeed because they are Canadian company.
Significance: This article is significant to technology because it is talking about a phone’s sales. A Phone is a part of technology. Also, it is talking about how it is competing with other phone companies. Many business people use the phone and hopefully with this new phone their sales will go up.
