Amazon sought to buy BlackBerry maker RIM
Looks like more bad news are piling up for RIM. It makes sense for Amazon to control another corner of the network triangle. I just wish they had better options than RIM at this point. I haven't seen a good plan and value proposition from Amazon or RIM to recruit the developer community to develop on their products. Until then, their products (tablets or phones) will lack a vibrant application ecosystem.
