    Does Motorola own a stake in a lot of patents? I don't like this regarding the future of Android.

    build the OS, let other's create the groundwork and work the kinks out, take back what's yours and reap the benefits. sounds EPIC!

    Motorola has a lot more to offer than RIM. Unless you just mean CEOs.

    FWIW, it's only the Mobility spinoff part of the company.

    The main Motorola company is not for sale.

    Whoops. Sorry. RIM is the company that developed Blackberry and not Motorola. Anyway, I did see stories, while I was verifying my misstatement, that said Microsoft will now probably go after Nokia or RIM now.

    RIM can probably be had cheap but the problem with them is that they don't have any good hardware - IMO.

    I like Blackberry's. I like practicality you know. No bells and whistles, just what I need for work.

    Not so sure about that. Nokia might be cheaper to acquire, tbh.
    Microsoft did enter into some agreement with Nokia, so I can see where they might buy them up.

    The problem for RIM is that they seemingly have no plan going forward. And their tablet look to be a complete bust.

    On the other hand, I can see Apple bidding to buy them up and gain corporate market share, where the iPhone still has problems making strides.

    Did the nexus really do anything in the first place?

    Also, I believe there was a news item that Nokia will no longer release smartphones in the states pretty soon.
