Anyway, anyone want to take a swipe on how much longer RIMM has? I’d say 2-3 years, or until Android starts getting serious about business class users…[/quote]
RIMM is an interesting case. They still have a core fan base – emerging markets, corporates and a subset of users who hate touchscreen phones.
On the other hand they are quietly trying to make their platform more compatible with android.
My prediction is that they will survive but morph into an android compatible system (perhaps with a deal with google) specializing in corporate users and keyboard lovers.
Or else someone will take them over (MSFT, I would have said NOK too but now it looks like RIMM maybe able to buy NOK instead)
Interestingly,
RIMM Mcap ~ 34.72B
NOK Mcap ~ 34.72B
