Google said Wednesday it is launching a nail in the coffin on the Gmail application for BlackBerry smartphones. According to the company, starting next November 22 the program will no longer be downloaded.
Users who already have the app installed on their phones can continue to use it without major problems, but can not download it again if the ban from their phones. In addition, no longer count on any support or upgrade in the future.
In one of his blogs, the web giant explains that from this day will focus its efforts on developing the web interface of your e-mail service that is accessed from the Blackberry Browser.
Thus, only users of Android-based smartphones have at their disposal a native app for Gmail. Last week the company was launching an application to Gmail for the iOS, but errors reported by a large number of users have made the program go out of circulation after a few hours.
And this was not the worst news in the week involving the Blackberry. On Tuesday the British bank Barclays investment lowered the rating of the shares of the company, considering that they did not offer the same security to investors than other times. As a result, the roles of the company came to be sold for $ 19, compared with $ 46 of May.
