BlackBerry to withdraw from Japan
BlackBerry will stop offering smartphones in the Japanese market amid poor sales, reports The Nikkei. The company's market share, once around 5 percent, has shrivelled to 0.3 percent. The firm decided to withdraw in part because it could not justify the cost of modifying its operating system to accommodate the Japanese language. While it will not release new models here, it will continue offering support to existing users.
