I agree. I didn't realize RIM was either in so much trouble of some sort, not making enough profits, or simply just wanting to get out of the business which they are the dominate handheld leaders in corporate America. Very interesting indeed!
Why do you immediately think RIM is in trouble? How many companies look to buy something that is dying? Maybe, just maybe, they want to buy best of breed...
Uhh... did you miss the part where they had >!B of revenue last quarter, and added 1.2M subscribers? RIM is nowhere near "in some sort of trouble" - the most upsetting thing about them currently is that they are providing too many variants of devices into the consumer market without any single "all-singing-all-dancing" device. I guess that means the die-hard will just have to buy two different devices :( Seriously though, someone somewhere is pumping up their shares - I might consider liquidating a portion of my holdings and then buy them back at a cheaper price once this is shown to be total BS... Wasn't there a rumor that Palm was looking to acquire RIM like a year ago? I'm sure this is actually some total misinterpretation of RIM's virtualized BB-on-WM software that's supposed to be released soon.

Wow didn't think Microsoft would really take over the smartphone division... Interesting as how this would develop into.

@gfar
I'm not too sure if you were commenting at me?
However what I wrote was sarcasm. reread the uppercase which is NOW pointed out as sarcasm!
"or simply just wanting to get out of the business which they are the DOMINATE HANDNELD LEADERS IN CORPORATE AMERICA."
I dont mind not getting rank, however getting commenting on for misinterpretation of a comment is another thing. I will work on my lame sarcasm. ok!
