RIM at the core of FMC?

Yesterday at a JP Morgan conference, Unstrung is reporting that RIM co-founder Jim Balsillie said RIM plans to add WiFi soon -- possibly by the end of the year. Once WiFi is added to the devices, he sees RIM and its service provider partners tying together fixed and mobile communications services with one device.

If you throw WiFi in our products... that's imminent... and you have a service that does the handoff, it's something that can be interesting in the latter half of this year
