RIM Acquires Interface Wizards The Astonishing Tribe [Rim]

Well isn’t this interesting. Today, RIM announced its acquisition of The Astonishing Tribe, the interface gurus who contributed to shaping Android’s look in its early stages. Yup, the BlackBerrys of the long run just got a lot prettier.

In a brief post on the company’s official blog , RIM CTO David Yach said he was ” excited that the TAT team will likely be joining RIM and bringing their talent to the BlackBerry PlayBook and smartphone platforms.” And when you’ve seen TAT’s vision for a way our various screens-like those on our phones and our tablets-might interact with each other within the near future, you’re probably excited too. That’s excellent news for whatever new OS RIM has on the horizon. [ BlackBerry via BGR ]
