Apple buying RIM?

**Playbookrocks** · 06-13-2012, 08:21 AM

Apple maybe the one buying RIM in the end and access all its business side this way, get all RIM's patents and get the QNX business too (cars, etc.). They have the money to do it.
What do you think Blackberries?

Lol lol lol lol

If this did happen, I doubt they would but I agree there are some advantages for them. I think Apple would:

No more BlackBerry handsets.
No BB10 (components will be used in iOS)

Everything will be intergrated into iOS, everyone out at RIM, and the end of the keyboard smartphone.

Another one of these "What if " " buys RIM post, how original.

At first I thought the regulatory hurdles would be too much for Apple. But then I realized, they seem to have a way to keep politicians and regulators out of their way. I'm just saying.

Oh boy..........

I think I'd take up self mutilation as a new hobby ..

RIM is a company that has behaved ethically all the way and Apple is, in my view, a company that has not. Price fixing with e-books, restricting in-app stores for e-book competitors, price fixing with carriers, etc.

I will always be a BlackBerry supporter. I've seen what Microsoft did and I'm watching Apple follow in their footsteps. No thanks.

RIM is definitely getting bought by Apple.

Hey! Wait... Look up in the sky. Pigs are flying.

**BoldPreza** · 06-13-2012, 09:17 AM

Yea... no, not happening.

**Chrisy** · 06-13-2012, 09:20 AM

I heard that RIM is buying Apple. Discuss.

I guess you don't have that much common sense to post a link stating your post either. Good luck with life.

**dbmalloy** · 06-13-2012, 12:00 PM

I am curious why the OP even posted the question...... Serves no real purpose....

**Chrisy** · 06-13-2012, 12:01 PM

Um, excuse me. I got to post that amazing Cool Story Bro pic. That WAS the whole purpose.

I have a personal preference for bananas so could RIM buy them as well as apple,

**xandermac** · 06-13-2012, 01:15 PM

Doubtful. Apple could always license some patents though, like the LED, that would be handy.

**13david77** · 06-13-2012, 02:23 PM

How dare you make such a blasphemous suggestion! Its like abandoning your car in detroit (detroit being apple, and the car being blackberry); dissasembled, chopped apart and sold for crack. RIM, with thorsten steering the ship, isn't naïve enough to let them be sold to (hold your tongue and say...) Apple

**Chrisy** · 06-13-2012, 02:26 PM

If iPhone got a GOOD LED that would make me look more seriously at it. I love my LED.

I think that teachers need to give out more homework.

**Tõnis** · 06-13-2012, 02:31 PM

Topics like this serve a purpose. They exist so I can make it known how I feel about apple:

I h8 apple.

**exfactor** · 06-13-2012, 02:35 PM

Apple buying RIM? That's chump change.

**TheScionicMan** · 06-13-2012, 02:42 PM

I'll say it again... Some developer could make MILLIONS with a SmartPhone Tycoon/ Sim's - Smartphone Edition type game...

Everyone's a business expert.
