RIM just announced on Inside BlackBerry and on the Gist blog that they have acquire Gist.  There are no future details written here or anything, and we haven’t obtained the press release yet.  Just a quick notice that Gist joins Research in Motion and that they look forward to the future. Gist is an awesome service which combines your contact list with the web.  It gathers contact info from everywhere and gets it all narrowed down for you to get easy access.  Sounds a bit similar to Xobni, but this is definitely exciting stuff here.  I’m hoping we see better contact management now in the future with BlackBerry, not that I have an issue with it now, but enhancements and add-ons are always great.
