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.

Rim's patents are old and not worth a heck of a lot.  If msft gets them it still won't be enough to let them pull out a win over android and apple, and would be several billion lost.  Apple might want to buy it, Samsung too.
