Maybe It's a right way to go?

The Canadian Press ~ OBJ, Published on January 23, 2013
Smartphone owners who want to use their personal phones at work can now pick whether it's a BlackBerry, iPhone or Android device.

Research In Motion made the latest update to its secure enterprise service available for download to IT professionals on Wednesday, which it said gives IT departments the flexibility to accommodate a growing trend of bring-your-own-device in workplaces.
"It's a single platform, from an IT perspective, that can manage the full suite of mobility devices they may need to support inside of their organization," said Jeff Holleran, senior director of enterprise product management of RIM in a recent interview.
The move comes as competition heats up for the highly lucrative corporate smartphone market, which has largely been a stronghold for RIM for years, but other players in the industry are making their own plans.
RIM chief executive Thorsten Heins has said more than 90 per cent of Fortune 500 companies deploy BlackBerry in their enterprise system.
However, the company has lost market share to Apple Computer Inc. (Nasdaq:AAPL), whose iPhone smartphone and iPad tablet use Apple's iOS operating systems, and devices using Google's Android operating system.
On Tuesday, an investment wing of Samsung Group - the leading Android smartphone maker - said it was making a "strategic investment" in the enterprise market. It picked up a stake in Toronto-based Fixmo Inc., a software maker that specializes in data and device security.
Fixmo has partnered with the U.S. National Security Agency to develop technology like its SafeZone encrypted email technology and Sentinel, which monitors mobile phone security. The company is home to several former RIM employees, including chief marketing officer Tyler Lessard.
Details on how much Samsung invested in the company were not disclosed, though Fixmo has said it is a "small equity stake."
The announcements come as RIM prepares to unveil its new BlackBerry smartphones and operating system on Jan. 30. The company hopes to attract a large set of the business market with features like its BlackBerry Balance technology, which allows one phone to operate as both a business and personal device entirely separate from each other.
But the move to open up its enterprise service also protects RIM from the possibility that its new devices could be considered a sales flop. With a system that invites both the Apple and Android operating systems into the fray it could continue to operate no matter the outcome of the new product launch.
The enterprise management system, called BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, will also allow corporations to manage and remotely install apps for their employees through the BlackBerry World app store.

thinkpad 易主后我买过一台，质量确实不如我以前的一台. 更扯的是driver 的update，越update越糟。原来买笔记本只认Thinkpad，现在Thinkpad不行了，也就不打算买笔记本了。个人感觉联想比起华为，还是差得太远。

If RIM just do service. most of the people will let go. That will be the end of RIM today. The service is with high margin, but the total revenue will be much less (1/3?). I feel that is a stupid move.

QNX主业务是车用的操作系统，RIM当初买不买他们都活的下去，卖硬件部门也跟他们这个没关系。

update:
加财长称关注中国联想RIM潜在交易
2013-01-26 03:00 新浪
北京时间1月25日晚间消息，加拿大财政部长吉姆·弗拉赫蒂(Jim Flaherty) 周五表示，对于联想和RIM之间的任何潜在交易，加拿大政府会密切关注。
而弗拉赫蒂周五在世界经济论坛年会上接受采访时称：“这是我们要关注的事情。”当被问及当地一些技术是否将限制潜在海外买家时，弗拉赫蒂说：“绝对会。”
受联想并购消息的刺激，RIM股价周四在多伦多证券交易所创下一年多以来的新高。由于市场份额不断被苹果和三星所蚕食，RIM此前曾表示将评估多种战略选项。
出于安全顾虑，加拿大政府此前曾阻止过海外企业并购加拿大公司。2008年，加拿大政府拒绝了美国Alliant Techsystems公司13.3亿美元收购温哥华空间技术公司MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd的收购意向。但去年12月，加拿大政府批准了中海油151亿美元收购尼克森(Nexen)交易。
弗拉赫蒂说：“对于海外投资，我们始终要深思熟虑，必须要考虑到相关一些担忧。”
