'''Blackberry''' is the common name of the smartphone designer and manufacturer, BlackBerry Limited.
The BlackBerry company was started by Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin under the name of [[Research In Motion]], in 1984. For some time, they were a leading smartphone company.<ref>http://www.ehow.com/about_5485127_history-blackberry.html</ref> However, when the [[iPhone]] was released in 2007, Blackberry began to loose ground. [[Android]] also managed to take the lead on Blackberry. After a delay, the Blackberry 10 OS was released, in hopes of reversing their downward trend. They also released the [[PlayBook]], which was a tablet designed to compete with the [[iPad]]. This venture was not successful, however, and the [[PlayBook]] was later discontinued. Blackberry is still in business now, but they are little more than a minority producer now.<ref>http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/05/broken-blackberry</ref>
