Good Raises More Cash
Continuing the good battle against RIM, Good Technology has just raked in $45 million more in VC funds. There have been a lot of stories of companies ditching RIM for Good lately, and RIM is trying to battle back by emphasizing how their software can be used on alternate platforms - something we thought they should have done long ago. The more interesting question is whether or not either company will end up making it on its own, or if they'll end up becoming a cog in a larger machine. Realistically, both are focused on making the process of getting corporate email on devices easier and that may eventually just become a piece of a much larger business - whether from the email side or the overall wireless access side.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
