RIM: Steady decline, will cease to exist within a year or two
...and while I'm not Canadian, I'm still embarrassed that my home province produced him. Trojan? Nincompoop? Misunderstood genius? Doesn't matter - what's done is done.

It is telling that the largest manufacturer of PCs and LapTops exits or sells the business. The future owners will define their mobile strategy. Who will it be? Lenovo? Asus? Huawei?

I'm definitely with cBeam here. This must be good news for Meego and also for Nokia. Now when will we see a Nokia Meego Tablet?

I'm still shocked that they even bought Palm at all. Maybe there are some really sharp, hard lines between divisions (that are now coming down)...
EDIT: added "US" qualifier
