According to some sources the acquisition one of our favorite failed brand - Dash - is confirmed. Dash, which gave up manufacturing their hardware and started to focus on location based services as well as crowd sourced and crowd favorite real real-time traffic updates is now a part of RIM (research in motion).

If that’s the case you can expect to see some improvement in the GPS navigation and related services offered by RIM. If you remember the idea behind Dash Express and the platform it had built looked pretty solid but it all failed when they wanted to charge a monthly fee for their service.

We’ll have to wait and see what RIM does with their latest acquisition… via
