Following intense speculation of late about the possibility of Research in Motion (RIMM) doing deals to broaden the prospects for its “BB10” update to its BlackBerry handhelds, Bloomberg’s Hugo Miller this afternoon reports that RIM’s CEO Thorsten Heins said in an interview today that the company can, if it chooses to, license BB10 to other manufacturers, without his actually committing the company to do so.
Samsung Electronics (005930KS) has been mentioned repeatedly as a possible licensee of BB10, or even an acquirer of RIM, as the company tries to make a comeback amidst assaults from both Samsung and Apple (AAPL),�though today’s article does not include any remarks by Heins about Samsung.
RIM shares today fell 22 cents, or 2.7%, to $8.07.
