There is a new rumor going around that struggling smartphone manufacturer Research In Motion (RIM), who churns out the once hugely popular (still is in the White House) BlackBerry smartphone, might just sell a huge stake to software giant Microsoft. Bear in mind that you would want to take this bit of information with a large grain of salt, although there is no way to completely rule it out altogether. RIM did mention that they are exploring “strategic alternatives” in order to consolidate their business, and a tie up with Microsoft might not seem to far fetched.
Ubergizmo, Microsoft to purchase stake in RIM?
