I believe it was Elop who said it is now a war of ecosystems. And he was very right.
I don't think having the best web browser is going to do much beyond making life a little easier for early adpoters.
- SwellJoe 14y agoIf your ecosystem is "the entire Internet", I'd say it's a pretty good ecosystem to start with for BB10. I'm not particularly excited about BlackBerry, and never have been their target audience, but a good browser is absolutely one of the most important factors in my phone decision. I still believe in the power of the open web over closed ecosystems, despite the billions Apple makes from their App Store. I'm hopeful that the open web will win on the phone, just as it has begun to win on the desktop. And in that world, it won't matter what OS you run, as long as your phone has a competent browser. Sounds like BB10 will have a very competent browser. That's not to say I believe RIM can pull out of this nosedive, but at least they're making moves in the right directions, for the first time in years (I think; I haven't seen anything else from them that makes me think they understand the new reality of the mobile landscape).
