I had blogged about what RIM should do about its flagging smartphone business (click here).
Looks like it was a timely blog post. The senior management of RIM have appointed bankers to search for 'strategic alternatives' (click here for NY Times article on the topic).
In addition to the PC makers without a smartphone/tablet presence, I think facebook might take a hard look at RIM too. They have some ambitions in the smartphone business and their market valuation (despite the recent drop) is many times that of RIM.

Another quick update:
It seems that RIMM is considering a breakup of the BBM service from the rest of Blackberry, so that BBM can be opened up to other IM networks (AOL, Google, Yahoo, etc): http://www.cnbc.com/id/47701261/
I have blogged about opening up BBM to other networks earlier. I think it is a good idea.
