RIM Confirms the Acquision of Documents To Go

By | September 9, 2010

Yesterday we saw that BlackBerry phones maker, RIM, got some rumors on its sides that the company might have bought Documents To Go. But yesterday, the Canadian company confirmed this rumor by saying that they have bought the company for $50 million in cash!! DataViz, the company which designed and produced Documents To Go and several other apps for the BlackBerry, iPhone, iPad, Windows Mobile, Android phones, is now under Research in Motion. So Documents To Go will no longer be a cross platform app, its exclusive to BlackBerry now.

Research in Motion said yesterday “RIM has acquired some of the assets of DataViz and hired the majority of its employees to focus on supporting the BlackBerry platform.” As CNET’s Jessica Dolcourt points out, “fifteen dollars a pop for iPhone business professionals buying Documents To Go for iPhone isn’t a business to quickly pull from.”

We may now see RIM making this app available to its customers for free on its phones. It can make a premium version of the app by adding some more features and them sell it to executives who use this app on a large scale. So other platform users, this is no more the app for you.
