RIM Buys The Astonishing Tribe
Remember that crazy Future of Screens video we saw a while ago? (It’s After the break) Then you might also remember that the video was made by a company called The Astonishing Tribe, and if you clicked into their YouTube channel, you would’ve seen that they had already been making a bunch of insanely wicked interface prototypes on some actual devices. Surprisingly, those demoes could actually represent the future of BlackBerry interfaces, as RIM has officially acquired the software company. Why is this such a big deal? The PlayBook and future BlackBerries could actually utilize some of TAT’s research and technologies to make awesome interfaces, a sure sign that things are about to get crazy once again in the mobile space.
