    All reliable news sources are reported Google acquiring Waze for $1.3B.

    I think you will hear an announcement at the dev conference as well as announcements on the new iOS today.

    I don't think so. Even the NY Times is reporting that Google is the one doing the acquiring.

    Google Is Close to Acquiring Waze, a Rival in Maps - NYTimes.com

    I think if I were associated with Waze, I would kill myself before I allowed Waze to become a part of the godawfulness that is Apple Maps.

    Either way....now I need to uninstall
    Waze from my Z10 as US Govt may track me every move through Waze as I ain't no US citizen.

    This one has been confirmed with so many different companies recently it seems safest to wait and see who announces it officially.

    Lol.. you think BlackBerry is part of 'PRISM' and just hasn't been outed?

    I'd be disappointed if they were...

    Funny how Google and apple reacted to it, pretending they don't know anything about it

    No, if your service provider was part of that program, they'd provide phone logs etc, even if you were using a blackberry.

    The difference is that unlike Microsoft, Google, and Apple, it doesn't appear that blackberry was specifically participating in this program. So bbms and anything else going through bis would not get tracked, I would think
