Done deal: Good is now Visto's

In a move that some are saying may spare workers from further layoffs, Visto has already closed its acquisition deal for Good Technology, purchased from Motorola in a deal announced last week.

Visto's statement this morning gives the distinct impression that it plans to market Good Technology services as competitive against Research in Motion's BlackBerry. But analysts today were speculating on the likelihood that Visto would instead add Good to its bustling portfolio of intellectual property, and may use it instead to go on the warpath against RIM by expanding the scope of its current lawsuits.
