RIM acquires JayCut, web-based video editing service

Research in Motion has announced that it has acquired JayCut, a video editing and cloud-based services, to join the BlackBerry platform. JayCut is based out of Sweden and operates a premier online video editor that they have licensed to a variety of companies and websites. By working with JayCut to add video editing capabilities to the BlackBerry platform, RIM expects to further enrich their customers’ multimedia experience with BlackBerry. As a reminder, the BlackBerry PlayBook already offers users premium multimedia features, including dual HD cameras for video capture and video conferencing, HDMI output and high resolution video playback. Editing tools on the PlayBook tablet would be a nice addition.
