After my little rant on how much I think the BlackBerry Browsers sucks, especially when compared to WebKit based browsers like Apple’s Safari , how timely is it that TD Newcrest analyst, Chris Umiastowski, released a video, Evaluation of BlackBerry and iPhone, where he quotes RIM stating that they expect the BlackBerry Browser to be on par with Apple’s browser by next summer?

The video is about seventeen minutes long but I found it pretty interesting.  The big take aways for me were that the iPhone is pretty much trouncing the BlackBerry in every area expect text entry and email when it comes to consumers, but, that RIM can catch up by next year if they get a move on in enhancing the UI.

It will be interesting to see if RIM is up to the challenge…
