Will probably get picked up by Apple, MS, or Google to continue their patent war.

This is actually a solid theory. I'd see Google trying to get them for billions while Apple/MS and the bigger conglomerate all go in together like they did for... I think it was Cisco patents.

You think Cisco, the largest, most profitable, network hardware manufacturer went out of business or sold off its patent portfolio? 

Try Nortel, which RIM was a party to as well.

I thought by adding the phrase "I think it was" would let people know I really wasn't sure at all, all I could remember was they bought some large cache of patents. But thanks for clearing it up.
