RIM acquires developer tinyHippos

Looking to beef up its web and widget platform.

Ontario-based tinyHippos is best known for its 'environment emulator' Ripple, which allows for the use of existing tools to perform JavaScript debugging, HTML DOM inspection, automated testing and emulation in real-time without having to redeploy the mobile application or restart the emulator.

Looks like RIM will be applying the tech to finesse its widget and web development tools.

Tyler Lessard, VP Global Alliances & Developer Relation at RIM commented "We have been integrating support for web technologies like HTML5 and Blackberry WebWorks into our developer platform, and working to continually deliver enhanced tools and frameworks to our developer community.

"We look forward to working with the team at Tinyhippos to further provide a simplified and streamlined experience to our developers."
