CEO Thorsten Heins might think that running BlackBerry's turnaround as a private company would be easier. After all, upset shareholders would be a thing of the past. The company could also get away with not having to disclose total smartphone unit sales and have to publicly disclose its revenue and earnings (or losses) as often.Well, that sounds like a winning strategy. I suggest they sell themselves to HP, which is where many technology companies go to die. Palm was acquired by HP in 2007 and after one new product release, was euthanized.
If HP acquires Blackberry, they could fuse the two technologies and release a Blackpalm device! I already have the catchphrase: "Cooler than frostbite" since frostbite also turns your extremities black. Or they could go with the friendlier "Palmberry", but I am not sure they want to evoke that kind of visual. Either way, I would expect one product release before it dies.
