RIM buys DataViz, makers of Documents to Go


Popular mobile office software maker DataViz has apparently been acquired by Research In Motion according to Crackberry.com. Neither company has announced it but reportedly RIM paid $50 million cash for the deal.

The BlackBerry news site is saying that DataViz employees have been changing their profiles on LinkedIn from DataViz to RIM and that the deal is small enough for RIM to keep its details private. 

Until now, despite its long held strong presence in the enterprise market, RIM has not had its own office solution. This gives them an easy solution and an additional leverage when pushing their Enterprise Server to potential clients given the inroads made by Apple and Google recently.

What this means for other platforms such as PalmOS, Windows Mobile, Maemo, iOS and Android is unclear but apparently they have announced that they will cease development of Documents to Go for webOS. It will not be a surprise if they do the same for other platforms as well but it's probably smarter to continue to do so.

Sony: Android 2.1 is coming to Xperia X10 by the end of September

So according to Sony Ericsson's UK Twitter account, the Xperia X10 phones, including the X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro, will be getting an upgrade to Android 2.1 by the end of September. As we already know, despite being the hottest phone in Sony Ericsson's line up this year, the X10 is a bit 'late' when it comes to its Android version. While most of the newer Android's phones (eg. Samsung Galaxy S) are already running Android 2.1 and above, the X10 is still running Android 1.6.
If this is true, then this is a great news to all X10 owners out there, finally their phone are getting an update. Sure it's not Android 2.2 aka Froyo, but hey, 2.1 is still a lot better than 1.6. I'm just curious if Sony Ericsson's are going to make some changes or even add some new features on its already awesome custom UI.
