The social media company doesn’t share a particular bias for the green droid, but feels that the only way to speed up the development process for a bug-free Android app would be if the employees switch to Android. BlackBerry is the leading example of changing times, of how even big names can lose out to competition. While Facebook’s push for Android adoption may seem like the company’s trying to promote the OS, but the reality remains that its only trying to push its developers to get used to an OS for which they are having a hard time developing a well fleshed out app.
However, this isn’t the first time we’ve
seen companies make a switch with respect to their mobile platform.
Recently, The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has cemented its resolve to replace
RIM's BlackBerry devices in favour of the iPhone. RIM’s services failed
twice over the year, causing the services of the NTSB to get severely
impacted during crisis situations. This sort of an outage could be
catastrophic, given how the NTSB looks after the investigations for
aviation and other transport based accidents. So with BB services going
out, the coordination of the investigation could get affected, which led
to the NTSB switching to the iPhone.
