Fabrice Taylor: ‘Why Microsoft Should Buy RIM: To Take on Apple’

Expect to see a lot more articles like this in the coming months. But it’s not going to happen. RIM has nothing Microsoft would want. Microsoft’s bet in mobile is Windows Phone 7.

What might happen, though, is RIM going the way of Palm, circa 2002 or 2003. Remember when Palm started making devices based on Windows Mobile? I could see RIM going that route out of desperation. There’s plenty of room in that Nokia hot tub.
