I believe the response I had to Microsoft and Nokia getting together was something to the effect of "merging two entities that don't Get It together does not generally produce one that Gets It." I'd say the same thing here.

If someone is going to buy RIM and actually make something of it, it would have to be a company than Gets It. All the companies that Get It already seem to be facing the problem of having more success than they know what to do with. I don't see how acquiring RIM would solve any of their problems. But I'd love to hear about those problems if you can explain them.
