We've seen a steady stream of
potential suitors for BlackBerry in recent months, but unnamed sources
are now claiming ex-Apple CEO John Sculley is looking into taking
control of the company. The Globe and Mail reports
that Sculley, who famously helped oust Steve Jobs from Apple in the
'80s, working with partners in "exploring a joint bid" for the troubled
Canadian smartphone maker.
Although he refused to confirm or deny the rumor, Sculley has long been a fan of the company. Speaking to the Globe and Mail,
Sculley says "there's a lot of future value in Blackberry," but
"without experienced people who have run this type of business, and
without a strategic plan, it would be really challenging."

Other companies reportedly interested in BlackBerry include Lenovo,
Cisco, Google, and the company's founders. The only confirmed bid so far
came from insurer Fairfax Financial Holdings, which offered $4.7
billion. Although Fairfax's bid was for the entire company, BlackBerry
isn't against splitting up its various divisions to ensure its recovery.
While its smartphone sales have slumped in recent years, the
manufacturer's enterprise operations have fared better, and would likely
appeal to a broader range of companies.
I HOPE THIS HAVE BEEN VERY
INFORMATIVE.
