Retro Labs: RIM acquisition imminent?

"A report by Goldman Sachs suggests that RIM is an attractive acquisition target. At $14.7 billion that would be something. On The Register:

GS' report mentions two possible suitors, Nokia and Motorola, which might be interested in RIM to boost corporate sales. Both are best known for their handset hardware, and despite its focus on enterprise software, RIM is similarly perceived as a hardware company, making over 70 per cent of its revenues from device sales.
That puts it head-to-head with handset makers, while other other enterprise push email providers, such as Good Technology and Extended Systems, focus on server software and code for a range of third-party client devices.

I won't be entirely happy if that happens. RIM is the only company that has cracked the problem of wireless email and seeing that being gobbled up by some random giant won't be nice.

RIM recently touched a subscriber base of 2.5 million. This story on Businessweek covers Blackberry's recent developments pretty well."
