Lenovo eyes RIM

It seems Lenovo is not content on resting on its laurel of being the second largest PC vendor in the world. The Chinese computer maker is all set to boost its mobile-device business.

Lenovo’s Chief Financial Officer Wong Wai Ming has signalled that the company is not averse to the idea of the acquisition of Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM, maker of the BlackBerry smartphone line.

In an interview at the World Economic Forum’s meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Ming said, “We are looking at all opportunities -- RIM and many others.”

Amidst talks of possible acquisition, there has been a rise in the RIM’s shares.
