In a new interview with Fox Business, John Chen has confirmed that the company has 'a range of products after this,' when talking about the launch of the Priv. Of course, it's not noted whether or not Chen is talking about new BlackBerry 10 or Android-powered devices, but Chen also says that he will let the market tell BlackBerry what to do. Some refer to the Priv as a 'Hail Mary' attempt from the company, but Chen believes that this is the wrong wording, as the phone has been in the works for quite some time already.
Beyond the Priv, Chen also touches on the company as a whole, the importance of privacy and more. Be sure to check out the full interview above.
