RIM acquires Dash Navigation

BlackBerry maker swoops for 'traffic probe' technology for undisclosed amount.

Dash’s platform converts a satnav or GPS-enabled device that tracks users’ road speed and location to create traffic reports that are broadcast to other users.

Traffic probe technology is a newish idea that's gathering momentum now. Israeli start-up Waze is set to launch a smartphone app for iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile phones.
