RIM Might License BlackBerry Platform: Crazy Or Genius?

RIM is currently in a downfall in a market share perspective. The share that remains is business users that continue to stick with RIM’s devices because of the ease of use and physical keyboard. RIM has already alienated smart phone users by not keeping up with the Jones’, so how can they alienate their loyal, remaining users?

First, discontinue manufacturing on all models except one which does not have a keyboard. Second, license your software out to HTC and Samsung, whom both are focused on Android and are also building hardware for Microsoft, so you would third in line for quality phone hardware.

Bad idea RIM.
