Yeah, why would they be doing that? 

First, Research In Motion opened its highly secure Enterprise servers to Apple’s iPhone. Then it unveiled enterprise device-management software for it, called BlackBerry Mobile Fusion.

And now it appears that the company plans to build apps for the iPhone, as well.

A March 20 RIM job posting shows the company seeking a Senior iOS Mobile Developer to build enterprise applications; specifically, “an experienced iOS/Objective-C developer capable of architecting, designing, developing and testing complex applications for iPhone and iPad devices.”

Security researchers at the Intrepidus Group have found a way to listen in on the connection between the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and a BlackBerry handset, a significant weakness that exposes corporate e-mail to malicious snoops.
