Apple should buy RIM

[Vanraw]

Most network security organizations in a major corporation should not let your iphone / android have direct access to your company email / web pages. So they are installing BES like servers such as Good <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www1.good.com/">http://www1.good.com/</a><!-- m --> . Its a server complex like BES that has a client on he phone that allows for secure access to mail servers like Microsoft exchange, as well as Intranet web sites and such. They also use secure versions of HD Office and such for document viewing securely on the device.

We use Good and BES. From a work productivity perspective BB and BES is much better then any of the bubblegum chewing facebook phones out there. I use a Droid 4 because it has a keyboard, but it and Good still is far behind what BES did. I don't know if this is because of patents and such.

The big issue is that apple is not taken seriously in the enterprise. Yes they have a couple of fan boy companies, but not serious market share. If they bought RIM and absorbed the technology into IOS they would have a foot in the door to talk seriously to the enterprise.

If Apple bought a company that had serious hooks into corporate America's IT enterprises, it would open up a whole new market and revenue stream for them. They have barley scratched the surface. BB stock is going continue to crash. This is going to be a penny stock soon. Which means it could be a good buy.
