No wearables or tablet but three or four new BlackBerry devices coming

BlackBerry launched the BlackBerry Z3 in Indonesia today. During the press interviews BlackBerry CEO John Chen provided a little more information on the future of the company.

He stated that BlackBerry have no interest in the Wearables market:

“To wearable devices such as smartwatch or smartglasses, we do not have a plan,” said Chen.

He the pre-empted the inevitable question regarding a BlackBerry tablet:

“Before you ask again, we also have no plans for production of laptops and tablets. Tablets may be used if it is [of interest], but now is not,”

“We now focus on consumer devices and enterprise servers. Moreover, it is not our plan at this time,”

While this may not be what BlackBerry users are wanting to hear, Chen revealed that BlackBerry will release another three or four new devices:

“After BlackBerry Jakarta, now we are again working on the latest BlackBerry with either 3 to 4 [new devices planned].

“Yes, there is the keyboard, and one of them is [all-touch] not a keyboard,”
