News Update: Research in Motion's New BlackBerry Web Browser Beats iPhone in Test (RIMM, AAPL)

Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry users have waited a decade for an improvement to the current web browsing experience most users would describe as grim relative to other smartphones. When RIM acquired Torch Mobile some time ago, crackberry users rejoiced that they may finally get a WebKit-based browser, capable of holding its own with those experienced by owners of the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone and other similar high-end smartphones.

It look like patience may have paid off. Tech blog Engadget ran an HTML5 test and noted that the new WebKit browser found in BlackBerry latest version of its operating system (6.0) scored a 208 (out of 300) - topping the iPhone's score of 185 and the HTC Incredible's score of 151.

The new operating system is slated to be released some time in the third quarter of this year.

can't they get the teleprompter closer to the camera so she doesn't look like she's looking at the wall?
