In a recent announcement, BlackBerry Ltd. has revealed that it is getting new channel partners to sign on with the company, with its newly introduced mobile security platform called BlackBerry Secure.

The new BlackBerry Secure platform was unveiled by BlackBerry – which was once a bigwig player in the mobile phone market – on Thursday, December 8. The new platform, as per BlackBerry, marks the conclusion of the integration of technologies which BlackBerry has acquired in recent years via its deals with companies like Good Technology, AtHoc, WatchDox, and Encription.

In a Monday press release, BlackBerry has announced that three of its handsets - the BlackBerry Q10, BlackBerry Q5 and BlackBerry Z30 smartphones - have earned Red Dot Awards for design.

BlackBerry has released its Z30 and has decided its amount for its customers all over India. The most recent flagship smartphone from the Canadian smartphone making firm has been launched officially in India. The amount settled is Rs. 39,990 and the BlackBerry Z30 brings a bigger display as compared to the display of BB10.

According to a recent report, in many parts of Europe, Microsoft's Smartphone platform has crossed the double digit mark in market share. It is for the first time that Windows Smartphone has recorded double digits in two major markets.

It has hit 10.8% in France and 12% in Great Britain. But things are not as good and rosy as they seem to be in other parts of the continent.
