An anonymous source &#8220;with knowledge of the matter&#8221; stated that they&#8217;re putting one of their two nine-passenger jets up for sale to assist with their $1 billion fat-cutting project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jet is expected to sell for around $6-7 million, but going by their track record of selling old, expensive equipment, I am not holding my breath. New Chief Marketing Officer Frank Boulben <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/tech\/news\/story\/2012-07-09\/RIM-new-blackberrys\/56121532\/1\">has stated<\/a> that the newest line of Blackberry phones &#8211; Blackberry 10 &#8211; will impress people (not &#8220;astonish&#8221; or &#8220;amaze&#8221;) and they are said to be unveiling a load of new features. Of course, they also stated that their <a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-1035_3-57468277-94\/rims-blackberry-app-world-hits-3b-download-mark\/\">90,000 apps have been downloaded over 3 billion times<\/a>, with 1 billion of those coming in the last six months. That means that Blackberry users are downloading an average of 2.5 million apps a day. I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217; is all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/in.reuters.com\/article\/2012\/07\/10\/us-rim-jet-idINBRE8690QD20120710\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blackberry trims fat: Sells private jet &#038; teases new phone!
