Don't use it but maybe now I will

Anybody have any idea (or even speculation) about what this will mean for the Viigo app end user? This has long been my favorite app so I am super excited to find out more!

Now maybe they can produce a better integrated product that doesn't leak as much memory. I like Viigo but it's such a drain.

I look forwarding to seeing the RIM can produce with the Viigo team.

If they fix the memory leaks, curtail the bloat etc I MAY install it again. If.

Could it be??? Viigo with no more/less memory leaks??? :D

Would be interesting to see if they try to integrate Viigo type stuff into the next OS rollout. Hmmmmm

i thought it was fishy how much about viigo was mentioned I the dev day when rim talked about the "adds service"

The only thing I don't like about Viigo is that it's such a battery hog. If they could make it more battery efficient that would be amazing, unless I was just doing something wrong?

Me thinks viigo is gonna be embedded as an app or feature in Blackberry OS, OS 6.0 is gonna be the start of an new era I think

My first thought was this is a move to keep BB users locked in to the BB platform much like BBMessenger is. Keep an eye out to see how long it will take before RIM remove support for the other platforms

ViiGo app is one of my favorites and does a great job at what it does. One spot to download all my favorite news and blogs.

I'm glad to see this, now a already handy app could become better.

I have no problem with it having a memory leak or being a battery hog.

I love to use viigo. A lot of people think that this app is a big memory leak/ battery hog etc., Maybe they haven't used it in a while. I leave viigo open all the time (in fact, I never close out of it all the way). I check for new feeds several times a day - especially the CB feed!. I also use meterberry, and the latest builds of viigo are rock solid IMO

I'm glad to see they have gotten a deal to be part of RIM. Maybe the app as we know it now will change into something intergrated with OS. Push rss feeds? I'm sure it will be good no matter.. excited!

This is fantastic news. The Viigo app for BlackBerry has been one of my favorite apps on my BB Tour. Now, it will just get even better! This is the best BB news I've heard in quite a while.

This could really add to the app. I could see the app to start to use rim push services for news updates instead of pulling for them

My favorite app. Hopefully this merger will only make it better.

I'm more interested in how much cash or equity in RIM they paid to buy Viigo out. Anyone got any ideas??

Bold 9000 5.0 from rogers where r u

I've been using Viigo longer than any other BB app. This sounds like good news to me! Looking forward to what may come of this!

I like the move, good stuff 100% support! :)

Maybe the viigo team can make a better Facebook app!

I wanna see a more efficient viigo app that uses push to deliver my subscribed feed instead of the preset polling/pull service. One server that dls all rss feeds and then pushes the subscribed feed to ur blackberry viigo app.

I think this is a win, win situation for both companies and for the end user. I value Viigo as my most used app as well. It is a memory hog, I won't argue different. I do hope RIM can fix this issue. However, the usefulness of the app overrides my concern for battery life. That's why they make chargers, right?

Here's my personal opinion. I truly think the major reason for the buy is this... There is some "hidden talent" in the Viigo team that is "outshining" RIM on their own platform and they want to bring that talent in to improve on what RIM already has in place and to enhance future builds. Like I said this is my opinon. Please don't flame me... :)

Maybe there going to develop the Blackberry widgets used on the homescreen on OS 6.0!

It needs a lot of improvement. Sucks the life right out of the battery.

Viigo sucks more cons then pros Rim waste of money !
but if Rim does an over haul on Viigo.

As long as RIM doesn't try to put all of our RSS feeds into the messages folder I'm happy with any upgrades they make for Viigo. Or that they don't try to make your phone beep when you have a new RSS either. Tho there are many parts of Viigo I would like to see implemented...

Maybe Viigo PUSH! Push your feeds to your device instead of Viigo checking the servers on a regular basis. That would be the biggest and baddest part of RIM taking over Viigo.

Push services are the logical next step. Can't wait. Should fix the battery life problem some are mentioning (Have it running on my 9700 and set to 20 minute checks and my battery lasts 1+ days).

Way to go Viigo!

Really? No one can connect the dots on this one? I would assume this indicates RIM sees the opportunity to bank on the ability to utilize RSS/Atom feeds to empower users to pull content from anywhere and meld it with RIM's onboard messaging/notification system, all without compromising security.

Good on 'em.

Never used Viigo before...let's see what this is all about

I really like Viigo and I'm sorry they bought them because I'd like to keep using it on my next phone, probably an HTC Android, definitely not a BB after dealing with the POS Storm for the last year . What they really should buy is Quickpull.

wants to know what this means to a long time supporter like myself in the long run,hopefully they don't turn over r&d over to RIM since they're so slow with updates of their apps, intrigued.

Maybe now that they have joined forces they can make it work on the Storm 2. Does not work on Telus Storm 2, bot the pre and post 4.5v.

Just installed Viigo on my TMo Bpld 9900
News & RSS does NOT open
Everything else is so so
What's up?
