RIM's Big Push: Making Room for Android, Making Movies and Making Everything Secure

[TechNews]

 Occluded by the opposition and battered by poor financial results, Research In Motion on Friday made announcements aimed at shoring up its sagging fortunes. The mobile device maker announced it has received FIPS 140-2 certification from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology. RIM also announced the purchase of Jaycut, a Swedish company that offers an online video editor, in a move widely seen as a counter to the iMovie feature on Apple's iPad. "Collectively, these are must-do moves for RIM to stay competitive," Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld.
