BlackBerry 6′s WebKit-based browser bests the competition in a good ‘ol standards showdown

It\’s been almost a year since RIM picked up Torch Mobile and locked its newly acquired division in a closet, telling those coders to not come out until BlackBerry had an international-class browser. Early tests from Salomondrin, the self-described \” 007 of the Phone World,\” indicates that those tired engineers can now finally go home and get some sleep. The recent WebKit-based browser, an element of BlackBerry OS 6.0, managed a score of 208 on the Acid tests, measuring browser compliance and performance. Meanwhile the iPhone 4 scored 185 and HTC\’s Incredible pulled down 151. Mind you, Acid performance doesn\’t always equate to real-world browser responsiveness, but regardless here is good news for CrackBerry addicts. The only real question now’s: when will they get their fix?
