A couple of rumors going around suggest that Apple and Research In Motion will be acquiring companies in the near future. This comes courtesy of Business Insider off-the-record dinner and, while the publication has been spotty in the past, these deals make a lot of sense. Fresh off its success with the iPhone 4 and…

A few days ago, Will managed to get some hands-on time with BlackBerry App World 2.0. We’ve already seen the screenshots, and know that it will be introducing a new BlackBerry ID system, carrier and credit card billing, and some UI improvements.
