Android and iOS are much more than mere mobile devices. Both have a solid media ecosystem to grab buyer attention and enjoy a steady revenue stream from sold books, music and rented movies. Even if RIMM creates a solid device with QNX, the possibility of challenging iTunes store or android marketplace is non existent in near future. On the other hand , Amazon is a media power house with a borrowed device (from Google) in Kindle Fire. That makes Amazon and RIMM natural allies. At these prices, Amazon should buy a large stake in RIMM in lieu of integrated (if not exclusive) media services on BB8.
