Why doesn't RIM acquire Swiftkey?
We all know by now that the keyboard RIM showed off at BBWorld was created by Swiftkey with a little bit of TAT juice thrown in.
I use Swiftkey on my Android device (and PlayBook) and really love it. In fact it has become my favorite keyboard. It really is to touch screen keyboards what Blackberry is to traditional keyboards.
For this reason, I am perplexed as to why RIM seems content to license Swiftkey product. Blackberry phones have long been distinguished by their keyboards. I don't understand why they don't lock up Swiftkey - especially seeing as they seem intent on using their product as their default touchscreen keyboard.
Any thoughts?
