RIM Finally Gets a Decent BlackBerry Browser


RIM unveiled its new BlackBerry browser at Barcelona this weekend.  It runs on WebKit, the rendering engine behind Apple's Safari and Google's Android browsers.

Once derided as "a Pinto in an era of Priuses," the BlackBerry browser has been lagging behind competitors, but Research In Motion bought browser-design firm Torch Mobile to clean up the mess.

The BlackBerry browser now scores 100 percent in the Web-rendering Acid 3 test, and can handle AJAX, CSS and HTML5, which means less Flash and longer battery life.
