You need to spend money to make money, the saying goes. Well it seems that BlackBerry is all over that adage. Last year, according to Research Inforsource, BlackBerry spent $785,300,000 in R&D. That total is 40.7 percent down from the previous year.
The question is, was it worth it? Does the money spent equal the results? Has the profit margin justified the expense? Makes us wonder exactly what the research went into and what emerged from the development. The Priv, an unreleased BlackBerry 10 device, a new tablet????
What do you think of BlackBerry's R&D budget? Let us know your opinion in the comments below.
