Blackberry seems will have new web browser, after Research In Motion (RIM) announced was acquisition Torch Mobile. Torch Mobile is company based in Toronto, Canada, that have browser with name Iris. Browser developed for handphone based on WebKit, and generally running in Windows Mobile. With this acquisition, RIM as side who take control still continuing to develop Iris browser. So that opened the possibility for Blackberry browser will replaced by browser based on WebKit. WebKit self is open source software that many used for browser-browser at iPhone, Palm Pre, Android, and Symbian S60. This acquisition certainly become value added for Blackberry user, because many of them complained that Blackebery browser is not easy to use like another browsers. This is one reason why many Blackberry users move to Opera Mini that easier.
