There is a rumor flying around the  internet that Research in Motion (RIM) has acquired Documents To Go and DataViz. It is assumed that Research in Motion has made this acquisition to provide its BlackBerry customers with a free version of Documents To Go on its phones.

For those of you who dont know, Documents To Go is an app for the BlackBerry phones which lets you open Microsoft Office documents easily and edit them with ease. The app is very popular one of the best selling apps on the BlackBerry App World. There is no firm details about the amount of money that RIM has used to acquire the company, but the rumors on the internet say, about $50 million.

It is known that DataViz had canceled its development of the Documents To Go app for the Palm's WebOS. So does this mean that it is going to become an exclusive app for the BlackBerry phones? The employees of DataViz have, reportedly, already changed their employer to BlackBerry on their LinkedIn profiles. So what does this mean?

It is also said that Research in Motion has also acquired another company, Cellmania. This is supposed to be done for delivering the apps more easily to the customers. We may see BlackBerry doing what ever it takes to get up those market share.
