RIM Acquires Torch Mobile

RIM is fueling the ubiquity of WebKit on smartphones by acquiring Torch Mobile, the developers of the Iris Browser. Assuming Iris is to become the BlackBerry browser to make par with Safari on the iPhone, crackberry addicts should have something in their palms by next summer. Perhaps it's time Microsoft consider using WebKit for IE Mobile instead of cramming their extremely out-of-date IE6 engine into WinMo.
