I'm still a Blackberry user! I actively read news on the company and have heard many companies wanting to buy Blackberry, I think Samsung was the latest before MS, so I take this news lightly. Deal is good for Patents.
Blackberry also owns a company called QNX which is used in those cars you mentioned. It's being used anywhere from outer space to the medical fields. It'd probably be the best thing for MS to acquire from the deal.
I do love my BlackBerry Passport and still want this company to make a comeback although it hasn't been looking bright for awhile now.
