Rim most likely will learn what most know already, that you can’t out Apple, Apple. maizein also makes a great point, it’s not just the BB Browser which is out of date, it’s the entire BB OS which is badly out of date. “by next Summer” promise is a joke, just like the claim RIM made back 1-2005 and again 1-2006 they would have a native mac sync solution. As I have pointed out before, “by next Summer” is a lifetime when it comes to product cycles of smartphones.

Somehow I don’t think RIM will be able to pull this off.

“by next Summer”? That’s ridiculous! Lot’s of stuff will happen in a year from now… RIM is over man! What a crap OS they have. It’s really a joke! Even Skype promised a BB version in May… we’re in mid August and no Skype for the crackberry yet. Meanwhile iPhone, Android, and soon even Windows Mobile are coming up with innovations..

I love Silverlight, this will definatly move Rim in the right direction technology wise, the iPhone may not be standing still but its nce to see Rim using the best technology avalable to move forward as well, flash and Silverlight are a step in the right direction.

Silverlight? Thats a microshaft, don’t want that on my BB. Flash and microshaft???? Thought that RIM prided itself on it’s Blackberry’s being somewhat secure? Putting that crap on a BB is just begging for security problems, virus’s, and blue screens of death. We all understand that since January 9, 2007 the iPhone has been leading the industry but RIM needs to be smart in what moves it makes to try and at least keep up. Flash and microshaft’s Silverlight ain’t the solution.
