But RIM seems to have a mentality similar to Microsoft when it comes to phones. They've got a sizeable marketshare, and seem to take a very lax approach to bringing something out that people will really want to use. When I think of the key players in the market who'll still be here in the next few years, only Android and Apple come to mind. Maybe Palm, and maybe Microsoft with thieir 7 Series.

+1 for WebKit/HTML5 as well.]]>Feb 16th 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/

"But RIM seems to have a mentality similar to Microsoft when it comes to phones."

MS completely changed their phone strategy with 7 Series, and you're still making this comparison? MS just proved that mentality isn't there anymore. Wow...]]>Feb 16th 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/
I guess that's exciting...but if you cared that much about browsing, you're not relying on a Blackberry anyway.

No. HTML5 doesn't support specific codecs. Ogg support was removed from the spec b/c of objections from certain companies (one of which was Apple). So now it is up to the browser/engine developer to specify which codecs they support. IIRC, webkit supports h.264 while Gecko supports Ogg Theora. I think Opera was going Ogg too, but I'm not sure.]]>Feb 16th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/Feb 16th 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/Feb 16th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/Feb 16th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/Feb 16th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/Feb 16th 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/Feb 16th 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/rim-demos-new-webkit-based-blackberry-browser-at-mwc-its-fas/
In short: It's a good day for RIM and for mobile web browsing in general.

HTML5 rules and I wish IE9 came out yesterday, with a companion named "subIE9killswitch". Being realistic, let's hope IE9 will at least sport some HTML5-capabilities, especially the video-tag and h.264 ... Afterwards only Mozilla would have to surrender in the pending question of video-format and HTML5's path to victory was free. ]]>Feb 16th 2010 1:34PM
