Well that’s according to analysts who believe beleaguered BlackBerry maker is ripe for picking by a certain software giant.In a recent note, Bloomberg have tipped the Canadian BlackBerry maker Research in Motion could be subject to a takeover by either Microsoft or even Dell. 

 This comes on the back of recent poor reported sales of its flagship smartphone and sliding share prices. 
RIM shares have fallen spectacularly in the past year and make for some eye watering reading. Hovering at around the $28 mark in share trading on the NYSE today, it marks a historic low for the phone maker which was trading at almost three time that amount ($70) as recent as February. 
 “RIM, once worth $83 billion, fell more than 80 percent from its record [peak] three years ago as Apple Inc.’s iPhone and Google Inc.’s Android platform siphoned off smartphone customers,” writes Bloomberg in a recent news report. 
 But it appears Microsoft have been associated with buying everything and anything since its zealous $8.5bn fork out for VOIP giant Skype earlier this year. 
 And it was also recently tipped to be mulling over a buy out of Finnish phone giant Nokia, whom with it has already penned a $1billion lock in deal, which will see the latter ditch its ailing Symbian platform in favour of Microsoft fledgling Windows 7 OS. 
 And other analysts also disagree including Paul Taylor, chief investment officer at BMO Harris Toronto who has large shareholdings in RIM. 
 “RIM still has meaningful market share in the U.S. and meaningful market share internationally, and RIM has an iconic brand.”
