RIM Buys Dash Naviagtion: Will BlackBerry Have Traffic Probbing?

RIM has confirmed that it has bought Dash Navigation but hasn't revealed many details on the purchase.

Dash's technology turns a  personal navigation device (GPS) into a traffic reporting tool, also called a traffic probe.  Last year, Dash made a device that tracked its users' road speed and location and created traffic reports for other Dash PND users. The device didn't sell well and was pulled from the market.

RIM has not reported if BlackBerry smartphones will in turn become traffic probes to create a traffic service.
