It was recently announced that RIM, the guys behind the entire lineup of BlackBerrys, has recently acquired Torch Mobile, a mobile software developer.

Before you ask why should you care make note that RIM’s buyout of Torch Mobile means a WebKit-based mobile web browser for the BlackBerry platform. If you aren’t aware what WebKit is, it’s an open-source web browser layout engine that allows mobile browsers to render web pages as they would appear on a normal computer.

In other words, BlackBerry owners will get their hands on an awesome, yet official, web browser at some point in the future.
