I don't really see that BB is inevitably headed for bankruptcy. They've had some bad financial results lately and some embarrassing service problems, but they still have a near-monopoly on retail electronics. Their larger problem is a poor economy and the end of a period of very rapid growth in consumer electronics.
It's very hard to argue that electronics retailers are necessarily doomed by the Internet when there's probably an Apple store ten minutes from any given BB doing more sales per square foot than anyone in the business, selling a tiny selection you can view in detail and order directly from Apple's own website. BB just needs to adjust the retail experience to suit higher-margin customers, as Apple did.
