RIM buys developer of the Iris browser

I'm really surprised RIM had to buy a company to implement a WebKit based browser. Seems like they should have been able to do it in house. I guess if the pricetag was low enough it makes sense.

Yeah, I think RIM has the engineering talent, but this move seems to be a time saver.

Having worked with java apps for blackberry, I fear that not everything is all right with their current organization. Making java apps for blackberry is even worse than making them for nokia or sonyericson. Poorly documented and broken in mysterious ways.
