YES! Matt from the browser team at RIM is back for some more BlackBerry 10 browser action.

In the world of mobile computing, HTML5 is a potential disruptive force to the current way of doing things. Perhaps more specifically, it can disrupt the way Apple invented the mobile app ecosystem.

If you are on team BlackBerry you are probably jealous of your Android and iOS friends posting photos to their social networking sites via Instagram.

Posted by Adam Zeis on 24 May 2012 11:16 am
