IMO you can't rule out a stock or cash deal. A few future hypothetical problem solved and a new platform for Blackberry to build on? 1. A way for INTEL to exit quietly (liquidity in BB stock or cash if a hypothetical cash deal.) 2. Cash to develop Blade 3000. 3. Enterprise Mobile Security: Mobile Device Tracking & Security Software -- Good Technology (BlackBerry) 4. A way for Vuzix shareholders/Board members to benefit by way of BB stock participation if a hypothetical stock deal. 5. Paul Travers can concentrate on Operations/marketing & R&D instead of future funding. $Vuzi & $BBRY Even Stock deal? The Co, has $1.7 billion in cash, and doesn’t plan to to use any of it for buybacks or dividends, Chen said — Richard - richardred (@rreding1) August 13, 2017

Interesting development at Intel, but IMO no means a game changer for Vuzix. Intel Corporation Kills Microsoft Corporation HoloLens Chip That doesn't mean Intel is out of future HoloLens devices, though. Ashraf Eassa ( TMFChipFool) Aug 14, 2017 at 9:15AM Technology website AnandTech spotted that Intel ( NASDAQ:INTC) issued a product-change notification on Aug. 7, announcing that the Atom x5-Z8100P system-on-a-chip (SoC) used in Microsoft's ( NASDAQ:MSFT) HoloLens has been discontinued. According to Intel's announcement, the company will stop taking orders for the chip on Sept. 30, and the last ship date for the chips will be a month later, on Oct. 30. fool.com
