Samsung to buy RIM?

Analyst says an acquisition or BB10 licensing deal is best survival option for the BlackBerry OEM.
In March, rumours surfaced to suggest Samsung would push $1.5bn into RIM to seal access to the forthcoming BlackBerry 10 OS.
Talk soon died down.
But like a zombie rises from the dead, so has the rumour, as Jefferies analyst Peter Misek reckons a Samsung-based play is the best way for RIM to revive interest in its 'subscale' platform, according to AllThingsD.
Misek, said: "We believe RIM is attempting to revive discussions with Samsung regarding a BB10 licensing deal.
"We believe Samsung is considering ramping up its internal OS development efforts, licensing BB10, or buying RIM. We think any acquisition is unlikely until after BB10 launches."
