Why Research in Motion Is a Takeover Target

I don't see RIM taking off. They'll probably maintain their position or slowly lose share while remaining profitable. They just don't have the software or technology to keep up with expansion outside of their core business (email).

I don't see RIMM as a take over target. Sure, they will have a steady cash stream, but it is a long shot that they will grow rapidly.

I think Palm is a better take over target than RIMM. It takes much less cash and you get a better OS. The downside is that there are fewer customers so again, it is a risk as to whether they will grow rapidly.
