RIM acquires company that makes WebKit based Iris browser

Torch Mobile has a number of developers that were heavily involved in developing and contributing to the design of the WebKit project and will continue to do so as part of RIM. With talk about a new browser for the BlackBerry that will be on par with mobile Safari, RIM is certainly pulling out all of the stops in an effort to keep their word.
