Microsoft could takeover RIM and own Blackberry

Although it has not happened yet, it could be possible in the future that Microsoft could enter a takeover bid for Research in Motion (RIM). In June the Blackberry maker was boasting about a market capitalization of $83 billion. How times have changed in just a few short months, as this figure has now dropped to $32.5 billion.

If someone like Microsoft was to takeover RIM, just think of what they are buying into and how they would be able to rival Apple finally. At the moment Apple have the iPhone and Microsoft have nothing.

With RIM launching three new Blackberry models, the Storm, Bold and the Pearl Flip, Microsoft could then take the fight to Apple. As yet this is all speculation, but Microsoft is the best company to takeover someone like RIM, and they certainly have the funds to do so.
