TORONTO -- Research in Motion is considering outsourcing production to companies in the Pacific Rim, according to published reports. DigiTimes is reporting RIM vice president for Asia-Pacific Norm Lo as saying RIM's leading position in the fast-growing smartphone market is behind the company's continued outsourcing. RIM currently outsources some product build to Elcoteq, and according to DigiTimes sources also contracts with Huizho, China-based TCL, a $5.8 billion ODM that is also a business partner of Alcatel, Toshiba, Thomson and Philips Electronics.
