To re-animate and enter the mobile sphere, its very likely that Microsoft may acquire RIM (which itself has failed to evolve to counter Apple and Google Android). So we cannot yet rule out Microsoft.

Its amazing how, in less than a decade, Apple has clawed its way from the grave, and become even more dominant than Microsoft...taking the hill beyond desktop devices to consumer devices (i-pod, i-phone and now the i-pad)

I was in the US recently, and in the mobile space, there are 3 players only (Im not referring to carriers):

- Google with Andriod phones
- Apple with iphones
- RIM with blackberries

My wife had taken her Nokia and we were hard pressed to find a charger.

@Ric dees - not quite vindictive. Remember Oracle acquired Sun MicroSystems...so in the enterprise space (servers, storage, etc), HP has genuine concerns.
