BlackBerry may have a failsafe in the event that its
deal with Fairfax Financial doesn't pan out.
Reuters claims
that the smartphone maker is now holding early, just-in-case sale
discussions with multiple large technology firms that include Cisco,
Google, Intel, LG, Samsung and SAP. It's not clear which companies are
serious about bidding, but they're reportedly interested in BlackBerry's
servers and patents; unsurprisingly, they're not so keen on the
ailing smartphone business.
None of the involved companies are corroborating the rumor, and there's
no guarantees that BlackBerry will sell itself to any suitor besides
Fairfax. If there's
another big takeover announcement in the future, though, you'll know you had fair warning.
