Post 11: RIM scores a free throw

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/02/rim-buys-tat-blackberry-ui-in-danger-of-becoming-awesome/

An update to yesterday’s post: RIM is about to score a swish on the user interface (UI) of its products with its (just announced) acquisition of TAT, a Swedish UI design company. TAT is perhaps most famous for its design of the UI for the original T-Mobile G1, the seminal Android phone that spawned the army of Androids we see today. What this means is that RIM is already on its way to addressing some of the problems I’ve outlined in the post yesterday. In addition to making its existing line-up of products more attractive, TAT may also turn the soon-to-be-released BlackBerry PlayBook into a major hit.
