In addition to publicizing different terminals, the Canadian firm Research In Motion (RIM) has been the protagonist of a rumor in recent hours. And it is that some media pick up the news that the owner of Blackberry has just bought the DataViz company, a company that will sound familiar to many for being the owner of the Documents To Go application. We refer to the small program that until now has served us to create, modify and view documents through any Blackberry phone.
The main media that have published this news indicate that the purchase transaction could have been closed at a price of 50 million dollars. What would be about 39 million euros at the current exchange rate, useful to definitively have ownership of this company. This is how the news has spread that DataViz has slowed down the development of a Palm webOS application. In addition, he has begun to plan the question of whether the company will continue working on the rest of the applications for the Maemo , Android or iOs operating systems that are currently in full development.
Presumably, from now on, Blackberry phone users could be specially guaranteed updates from DataViz or those that consist directly of the Documents To Go program or others that RIM may continue to develop from now on. It will be necessary to see, anyway, how the Canadian manages to make the acquisition profitable without having to grind to paid downloads to the entire user community.
