Research In Motion is getting set to launch a new Blackberry operating system and a new smartphone in an effort to resurrect their struggling brand.Recently the local subsidiary appointed a new CEO after Adele Beachley the former CEO left the Company. Prior to her departure a former RIM Marketing Manager accused her of “harassment”.
Insiders claim that the new BlackBerry 10 operating system will go on sale in October along with a new smartphone.
The launch of the new device is expected in August 2012.
