BB10 Browser Coded in Web Tech to Support Legacy BB Devices.
- Could RIMs choice to code the browser with web technologies (Html5/css/java) could mean they plan for the BB10 browser to exisit on more than just BB10 devices, otherwise why not build a cascades browser?

I use web apps on my 9900 all the time, like the new grooveshark app. Webworks is back-compatible with BBOS, whose to say they haven't refined Webworks as a whole? It originated on BBOS to enable 5.0+ to access the Webkit engine. Albeit 5.0 support is laughable09-26-12 02:08 PMLike 0

I'm speaking of Blackberry phones. They are not capable of any heavy lifting with realtime HTML5 or JS. Webworks also does not allow BBOS5 to access the webkit engine. Webworks is just a way of leveraging the rendering engine to easily create basic apps.
The BB phones are too slow for the BB10 browser as is. Compound the fact that it would need to be run ontop of the java OS and you have a recipe for disaster.James Nieves likes this.09-26-12 02:52 PMLike 1
