BlackBerry Webkit BrowserIn the fast developing era, almost everyone knows that cell phone plays an important role in our life. Cell phones connect us with our friends and the world, no matter where you are and no matter what happened all over the world. They are all in the little device—in your hand. There is no doubt that the Blackberry Mobile Phone is becoming more and more popular because of the fashion and special designs. However, what is the key point is that this kind of mobile phone owns many good functions, bringing convenience to people so that almost eveyone dreams to have one.

This is the advantages of smartphones. And now RIM is developing a better BlackBerry browser.

RIM is making efforts to improve the Web browser for BlackBerry users.In a recent job posting on LinkedIn, RIM requested an expert C++ programmer. He is firmly grounded in the open source Webkit browser engine.

The comparison of  Research In Motion and Microsoft Mobile Solutions: Download now The hire is for a “mid-senior level” Webkit developer who will have responsibility especially for “maintainability, scalability and reliability of the system.” The position apparently is fleshing out the program team RIM reeled in when it acquired Torch Mobile in August, creator of the Iris mobile browser, based on Webkit too. Iris is not downloadable any more. This is an indication that the programming team has been refocused wholly on creating a modern browser for the Blackberry Phone Operation System.

The acquisition marked how seriously RIM is taking the widening browser gulf between the BlackBerry smartphones and such rivals as the iPhone. The Safari browser, and the Palm Pre, with its Palm webOS browser, are both built on Webkit, as is Google Chrome and the Nokia browser for the S60 mobile phone operating system. Webkit was developed by Apple out of the code originally created by the KDE project, and released as open source in mid-2005.

All of these things are out strip the current BlackBerry brower. CIO reporter Al Sacco, himself an avid BlackBerry user, notes that Web pages with lots of Javascript bring the browser to its knees. There are frequent problems with rendering common Web pages. Adding insult to injury, the browser is the “mandatory-default” browsing application for all BlackBerries, he notes. Some Replica Blackberry Phone users have turned to a mobile browser from Opera instead.

RIM is a late developer for a powerful mobile Web browser. Even though not all people use Webkit, almost all of them want to make many improvements in Javascript processing, and dramatically make effecttive use of touch and gestures, like Iphones. The result is tremendous. Just as what the iphone demonstrated that by early 2008, less than a year after being released, the iphone

The results are dramatic, as the iPhone demonstrated. By early 2008, less than a year after being released, the iPhone’s Safari browser was the No. 1 mobile browser in the United States, and No. 2 globally, trailing the Nokia Web browser, according to StatCounter. Google released data early in 2008 showing that Christmas 2007 traffic to its site from iPhone users outstripped all other mobile devices, at a point when the iPhone had just 2% of the smartphone market.

Another technology trend is intersecting with these advances: the rapid evolution of the HTML 5 and Cascading Style Sheets 3 Web standards. Some see the requirements of mobile development as being the real driving force behind fast and widespread adoption of both standards.

For example, two new HTML 5 APIs, database and application cache (“appcache”) are already being implemented by Google in last Spring’s new mobile version of Gmail. Database lets a mobile browser locally store Gmail messages in a local MySQL database; AppCache lets it locally store the Gmail functions and user interface in JavaScript and CSS files.
