The manufacturer of Blackberry phones, Research in Motions (RIM), recently acquired software developer Torch Mobile. Torch Mobile develops a mobile web browser called Iris, which is based on WebKit, a leading browser rendering engine. The significance of this is that software developers should finally be able to deliver a feature rich browser based experience to Blackberry users, should they bring the Iris browser to these devices.

For Rype, this means our upcoming browser version is likely to work on Blackberry devices with this browser. This would be a great result for customers meaning that you can keep using whatever device you prefer - Blackberry, Windows Mobile, iPhone or Android!
