Visto to challenge RIM in the China mobile market

Not content to let RIM's Blackberry take all the joy and fun in the largest-growing mobile market in the world, Visto has announced a partnership with Lenovo -- the Chinese company that bought IBM's PC division a few years ago -- to roll out a push email service on up to 12 handset models.

With RIM and Visto locked in a patent infringement battle here in the U.S., it looks like Visto is not going away to sleep under a rock quietly at all, and they shouldn't. Let the best push email solution win the customer, I say. RIM arguably has the world's best solution for that one single -- yet hugely important -- feature, but if a better one can be developed, that's what competition is all about.
