Microsoft Reportedly May Acquire BlackBerry
New submitter techtsp writes: Microsoft is just one one of many companies reportedly looking to get a bigger piece of the enterprise mobile market by buying BlackBerry. Reports claim that Chinese firms including Huawei, Lenovo and Xiaomi are also interested in picking up BlackBerry following the company's recent return to profitability. This report comes on the heels of BlackBerry announcing it is cutting jobs across its global business units in an attempt to consolidate its software, hardware and applications business.
I like "Crashberry"
Table-ized A.I.
nice going there, ay?

"How to Do Nothing," kids activities, back in print!
Now that Ballmer is gone, maybe we can be a little more optimistic for once, eh?
Agreed, I think it's exciting times ahead for Microsoft again.
At least it might make for a nice slogan: Microsoft, where phone companies go to die!

Either that or Microsoft is sick and tired of competing with blackberry for the ass end of the smartphone market, and hopes to grow from 2.3% market share to 3.3% again.
