Lasaridis stated the WebKit based browser will be part of OS6 to be released next calendar quarter (July-September)
Can't wait :)

OS 6.0 looks good, but I feel like it's too little too late to compete for the UI obsessed consumer market that the iPhone has tackled.
Blackberry will continue to dominate the business market, no matter what UI they have, but if they want a share of the iPhone market I don't know if this upgrade is enough.

I think it's enough... for now.
Business users want a phone they can use after work for fun. I think OS6 accomplishes that. It may not be enough to take the consumer market by storm (no pun intended) but it's enough to keep BB users from lusting for an iphone.
BB OS keeps getting better and better. App world also keeps adding more/better apps, and RIM is offering more support for developers. I think the future looks pretty bright. :cool:
