When it comes to what kind of difference the transition will make for the struggling company, we haven’t had a high amount of confidence; while we hope for the best and want to see RIM turn things around, the falling stock appears to indicate that we’re not alone in expressing concerns about this morning’s events. Here’s some food for thought: when rumorsthat Samsung was interested in purchasing RIM flooded the internet, the latter company’s stocks spiked by nearly ten percent.
