Samsung not considering RIM acquisition
- Middle East: Saturday, August 11 - 2012 at 13:18
Samsung Electronics has said it has not considered acquiring Research-In-Motion (RIM) or licensing the embattled BlackBerry phone maker's new mobile operating system, Reuters has reported. Analyst said the lack of support from potential partners such as Samsung could mean more trouble for RIM, which is seeking various options to turn around its embattled business. "RIM has already lost its initiative in the smartphone market and what is left doesn't look really attractive to the likes of Samsung," said Lee Sei-cheol, an analyst at Meritz Securities. "Should they have a deep patent pool, that might be the most appealing asset to potential acquirers."
