Default looking to build a mobile browser for storm with gestures

ok so my goal is very simple, i want to make a browser that is fast, simple, and has multitouch gestures. i know it was done with the droid before they gave it multitouch so i'm assuming that it can be done with a browser for blackberry. would anyone be interested or is it too iphone like?

So you want to make one or are you asking someone else to make one? cause if it was easy to do RIM would have already. They have aquired an entire company to do it for them instead

HMM... What's your aim here? Because by your wording alone, it doesn't sound like you know a lot about writing software. If your aim is to make money, you wont since browsers are free and rim has a badass new webkit browser coming to the rescue shortly.

I don't want to make any money from it. I'm just trying to write something that hopefully everyone would like. And I really don't know much about coding but I can learn. This would be kinda like a little science project for me. I was thinking about taking the webkit browser from android and modifying it to run in the blackberry jvm. They're both java so why wouldn't it theoretically work?
