This explains why RIM wasn’t interested in creating Documents To Go for webOS – the boys were on the verge of being absorbed by RIM.

Mobile Apps Briefing reports the following:

Research In Motion (RIM) is rumoured to have acquired DataViz for US$50 million, developers of a document viewing application that has been preloaded on BlackBerrys for the last few years. A report from IntoMobile notes that the price is small enough to not require public disclosure.

…

Even though Dataviz itself has not stated anything re the matter, the decision makes good sense. Keep in mind that Microsoft has its own Office Suite, whereas Symbian is firmly dominated by QuickOffice. Furthermore, MobiSystems is making good progress in Android – leaving DataViz with iPhone and BlackBerry.

Stay tuned for an official confirmation if we ever get one…
