Somebody who is living in 2005.

Someone who really wants their patents and software.

They'd be best off just licensing everything off as opposed to trying to make new handsets and operating systems. Or, get out of the American phone market completely and just focus overseas where they aren't being beaten so badly.

cnn reporting blackberry sold. don't remember the buyers but the price was $4.7 billion. newest cnn alert indicates blackberry to become private company.

Just goes to show how quickly one company can go from being a market hero to a market zero in the tech industry. Until then I'll be waiting for the 'next big thing' and evaluating my options whether to lead a modified Amish lifestyle.

I just can't understand why there was any interest. It strikes me as investing in Stanley Steamer after gasoline ICEs grabbed market share.

Preliminary agreement is not a done deal.

That said, I fear that this will just become a patent troll situation.
