Microsoft To Buy BlackBerry?

Rumors are fierce that Microsoft is planning to buy Research In Motion, developers of the BlackBerry handheld. Reasons of course are linked to the success of the iPhone. Microsoft might be feeling a little anxious about their own products, so who better to acquire than one of the leading handheld companies? Apparently investors like the idea as well, as their stock prices immediately went up following the rumor leaks.

Moving into as many markets as possible, and remaining strong in the business application realm, it makes sense for Microsoft to be interested in RIM. The iPhone’s use for business purposes has not yet met its potential, but a lot of companies are paying close attention to the device’s growth, success and influence.
