Amid BlackBerry (Nasdaq: BBRY) looking to pull out of sluggish markets like Japan and South Korea, the company might be looking at China as its next key growth market.
China's Global Times reports that BlackBerry might release BlackBerry 10 (BB10) devices into China during the later part of 2013. Specifics of launch dates and devices weren't disclosed.
One of the bigger concerns behind the BlackBerry name is ecosystem. Despite a number of improvements made with BB10, both Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) have made large strides over the last few years in terms of building out a solid ecosystem for iOS and Android, respectively.
Still, given China's vast user base, BlackBerry might be able to procure decent sales numbers with a solid campaign. Shares are up 2.6 percent Tuesday.
