RIM makes it work faster

Research In Motion(RIM) gave a demo of the latest Blackberry Browser at Mobile World Congress(MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. The most common issue with the current browser is that it is slow. This is because it has hard time with many javascript-heavy pages; and it makes certain web pages hard to read. This browser is expected to be launched in market in late 2010.


The company CEO said that this new WebKit-based Blackberry Browser is not only loading javascript faster but manages Ajax efficiently and supports HTML 5.0, DOM L3 and CSS3. This new browser has scored 100/100 in the Acid3 Web standards test. This test is to gauge a browser's congruency with different web standards. The interesting fact to know is that neither Internet Explorer nor Firefox have received a perfect score on this test.


It will also support the two widget standards - Blackberry Widgets and JIL widgets. The Blackberry developers are promising it to be a very powerful application experience for the users. I am eager to actually get the hands-on experience with this new browser but I hope it doesn't get too late.
