Amazon Considered Acquiring RIM Over The Summer

rimazonTo say that RIM has had it rough these past few months is a understatement, but according to a new report from Reuters, it may not have had to go through these trials alone.

The talks seemed to be largely informal in nature so it may have been nothing more than an open-ended meeting of the minds, but man -- what a deal that would've been.
