RIM shares shoot up on plans to open network services to iPhones, Android

The article “RIM shares shoot up on plans to open network services to iPhones, Android” talks about RIM thinking about starting to open its network services to Iphones and Androids to help security purposes in the work environment. RIM is starting to lose its place as the primary handler of mobile devices in the workplace, so by doing this they would likely hold there spot as the primary handler of mobile devices in the workplace. They need this because there stock has started to drop in the past year, due to the fact of them losing ground to sleeker opponents.
Do you think apple and Google’s android should team up with RIM? Recently blackberry and rim have been losing customers due to the fact that there service is just not as good as other services now. Blackberry's have bad battery life and the always seem to have something going wrong with it whether its not turning on or the track-pad no longer works or even not being able to charge! If that isn't bad enough, there BBM which is the biggest part of blackberry's keeps crashing and going down, and people can't use it. Workplace companies that do use rim's services cant have this its costing them money to have to replace there employees phones and slowing there work progress down. If apple and Google’s android team up with them then what if it happens to there services too? Then they will start to lose customers and there stock will drop. Why have that? You never know what could happen if RIM joins with Apple and Google's androids. But chances are it might possibly be bad and cause company's thousand's of dollars.
