The recent rumours of RIM, owners of BlackBerry, thinking about selling the whole company or a part of it as a buyout has fetched a bit of attention. The latest buzz was about BRG reporting that RIM had taken there offer to Samsung which sounded tempting to many people as it would have certainly led to BBM on TouchWiz., but sadly it isn't happening Samsung and Blackberry both claim that there was no such meeting between them. Probably they don't want to tell us, the public about the failed meeting. The only reason I see for Samsung to deny the deal would be the fact that RIM is pricing the buyout at $12-15 billion which is way more than their net worth of $8 billion.
Though Samung didn't buy RIM, someone would and any operating system let it be Android, iOS or Windows, would benefit if they can port BB services to there system. If one company gets it, others will soon follow.
