Here are more specifics from another article.

"BlackBerry Mobile Fusion includes RIM’s software for managing, securing, and updating BlackBerry devices as well as tools for managing Android and iOS devices running RIM’s BlackBerry Fusion Client app. After a 60-day trial, the software starts at $99 per user, or $4 per user per day, with volume discounts availabe [sic]." - http://www.forbes.com/sites/briancaulfield/2012/04/03/blackb...

This is definitely an interesting strategy, although I seriously wonder if the same trust that's put into a full Blackberry stack will translate to just some software, regardless of the technology behind it.

It wasn't really what I was hoping for but it's a start. My expectations are for BlackBerry to open their BBM network for other companies.
