Rumors of a RIM sale?
As you would imagine there are rumors circulating on the web that RIM is shopping around for a buyer. This article has a different twist:

But RIM may not be preparing to sell the company in full: on January 4, Barron's quoted an analyst from Jefferies and Co. as saying that RIM had agreed to license its BlackBerry OS to "Samsung, HTC, and possibly others."

BlackBerry sales are increasing outside the U.S. - so a good move for Samsung or HTC?

The Blackberry operating system has no value. The Blackberry's real value was the original wireless email patent, which is owned by NTP. Remember the big patent infringement case where NTP wiped the floor with RIM?

Remember the Blackberry operating system does not equate to email. NTP owns the patent.
