BlackBerry maker Research In Motion recently acquired calendar application developer Tungle.
In yet another move to improve its offerings for enterprise mobile services, Research In Motion recently acquired calendar application developer Tungle.
Tungle’s application allows businesses to collaborate on calendars for scheduling with their partners or clients regardless of what calendar platform each uses. The acquisition will provide Tungle with RIM’s mobile resources to help make its services more accessible on smartphones and tablets.
After expressing its excitement to gain a trusted partner in RIM in the burgeoning smartphone and tablet markets, Tungle explained in the company blog post that announced the acquisition that its customers will benefit just as well.
“This is exciting for you too as we expect the Tungle service to only get better,” Marc Gingras, founder and CEO of Tungle, wrote in the blog post. “Our plan today is what it has always been - for Tungle to become integrated with your daily activities and be ubiquitous within the applications you’re already using. When you think scheduling, Tungle should be at your fingertips.”
RIM appears to be making a number of significant changes to its application services. Last month, rumors surfaced on the Boy Genius Report blog that, according to sources with the company, RIM is planning to adapt its widely popular BlackBerry Messenger application for compatibility on devices running Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android mobile operating systems.
