As of today smartphone manufacturer
Blackberry (previously known as RIM) is officially for up for sale, as it
states to The Wallstreet journal, but who is interested in purchasing
it? A trusted source (currently employed at Yahoo) has confirmed to
AmongTech that Yahoo is one of the interested buyers of the smartphone manufacturer,
offering $1.2 billion dollars. This could mean that Yahoo is finally entering
the Smartphone business.
Blackberry has been struggling for a
long time, with in 2 years firing over 50% of its employees and losing more
then 50% of its revenue compared to previous years.
Yahoo’s CEO Marrisa Mayer is currently on a buying
streak, buying Tumblr, Sumly, snip.it, Xobni and
over 83 more companies. The biggest acquisition yet was Tumblr which gave Yahoo
the possibilities to attract a whole new audience between the ages of 16 – 28
and a huge amount of mobile traffic.
Do you think Yahoo should acquire
Blackberry to enter the smartphone business? Let us know!
