Or Apple. And then boast how they invented the physical curved portrait keyboard back in 2004. And patented it of course.

Apple buying Blackberry? Wow, that is almost funny and scary at the same time. They are the ONLY company that seems to combine the hardware and software and stay competitive. Grabbing the resources of RIM to add their own would just really up the mobile wars, wouldn't it? Apple has the cash to burn that is for sure....

Google and RIM joined partnership make sense on so many levels.
They would appeal to 2 different user markets, would have a large patent portfolio and interoperability between qnx and android.

Apple should buy it and make a touchsreen blackberry with qnx, ios and android. 10mp camera, quad core, lte. Get on it Apple

MS would be a better candidate folks. RIM BB phones are geared more towards business types. MS has the tools to combine with RIM BB in this case.

Yeah, MS would be better. But, if the Nokia partnership jumps WP7 phones into a worldwide market, and the Japan and China market get's open to them through several other handset makers, all of a sudden Microsoft is in third place with no overhead in hardware to drag down profits. So, why would they want them? It might make sense if the sales of windows phones are not up into the 12% - 20% area by the end of 2012, for than they may have to branch out to compete. But otherwise they should just stick to software.

Agreed! But how about RIM BB patents? What do you think?

Let's go MS! That would be pretty cool to see a blackberry run mango but I think the keybored would need to be a slide out, a clam like the arrive, or the same thing that ran on the storm series

Does anyone besides me get the feeling that RIM will either bounce back in 2012, or just keep trying until there is a hostile takeover or a complete bottoming out?
Let's not forget, though, 12%-15% of the smartphone market will keep Blackberry afloat. Actually, 10% would do it. QNX better have been worth it.

i dont see a bounce back. qnx wont come until q1 at the soonest. by then everyone will have an iphone 5, new droid option or mango. plus RIM hasnt launched anything on time lately and they are said to only have a 1ghz single core in the first qnx device. some people will always swear by blackberry, but that number is dwindling quickly.

Unfortunately, I just don't see QNX being RIM's salvation. RIM is so late to the party, I doubt that porting Android to their handsets would stop (not to mention reverse) their market decline. More and more of RIM's golden clients (corporations) are moving to iOS or Android. Decisions are beeing made daily regarding moving off the RIM platform.
For the reasons already mentioned, I don't see MS buying RIM. And I don't see Google buying RIM either - Moto has a larger patent portfolio than RIM.

it may not be for mobile patent but could be to use RIP IP to make android devices more secured than ever
16. Droid_X_Doug posted on 07 Sep 2011, 14:48 0 1
According to discussions I have had with people who make a living advising corporations on mobile security matters, the latest versions (2.3+) of Android have better security provisions than RIM devices. Apparently, RIM devices aren't sand-boxing applications while Android (and iOS) are implementing sand-boxing. Of course, sand-boxing is one the points that Oracle is arguing that Android infringed the Java patents that Oracle picked up from Sun, so that may change....

they'll likely go the way of Palm, or worse. Maybe they could push towards the tablet market with QNX, they do stand a chance if they price more competitively and put in better hardware.

Not all the time no one can win the match of stock market trade , humans are bounded with emotions and personal affairs that makes them to take wrong decisions at right time even though they are masters of trade. Markets dramatically change they their flow and no one exactly produce or expect 100% from their profits . Choosing the right indicator or analyzing software blended with human aspect gives better results.
