We weren’t expecting much out of RIM’s presser here at MWC this morning, but the company managed to bust out one surprise — a demo of the company’s new WebKit-based BlackBerry browser .

Hey, Andy, thanks for “considering” adding multitouch to the Nexus One — meanwhile, though, there are folks in the trenches actually making it happen, so we might not need your help anymore. The usual suspects over at xda-developers (the legendary Cyanogen, specifically) have mixed, baked, and cooled a delicious new Browser APK for Google’s so-called superphone that undoes the company’s poorly-made decision to leave out the hot-button feature on everyone’s mind. The dude says that you might lose your settings and bookmarks in the process, but we’d say that’s a small price to pay — especially considering that you’d normally have to flash the entire ROM anyhow.

Yea, you read that right — fifty apps loaded side by side by freaking side on the Pre Plus , and the thing just kept on ticking. The chaps over at Pre Central decided to test out specifically how much of an improvement the doubling of RAM and storage in the new handset delivered, and they were not disappointed. Opening up the same apps on both phones, they found the original Sprint Pre (sporting a mere 256MB of RAM) ran out of puff at the 13 app mark, whereas the Pre Plus soldiered on until a nice round fifty was reached

Let’s not mince words: any way you slice it, RIM’s built-in browser for BlackBerry renders sites about as well as your $199 netbook renders Avatar . The good news is that we’ve got every reason to believe the company recognizes the problem and is working to solve it — but on a completely unrelated front, they’re trying to speed up the process of fetching raw data off the interwebs, too. In a patent app made public this month, RIM’s lab geeks describe setting up a proxy server right on the phone that would intercept the browser’s web requests and bundle, compress, and send them to a gateway on the other end (BIS, we presume) that would know how to deal with the packet

Want to blast some BRAVIA Internet Video Link content from your PS3 to your million-inch Sony-built 3D OLED TV this year? Well, you’re half in luck. Sony’s bringing the Internet Video Link service to the PS3 (which seems to us to provide little that isn’t already possible on the PS3, but who are we to judge?) but won’t do any new OLED TVs this year

In the last quarter, Chrome , Safari and Opera all set new personal bests for browser market share with 4.63, 4.46 and 2.4 percent respectively. This period marks the first time Chrome has pipped Safari to third spot, while their collective prosperity comes at the expense of IE, which continues to hemorrhage users at a rate of 0.92 percentage points a month

Want a hint as to where Firefox will go next? As a product visual designer at Mozilla , Stephen Horlander is the kind of guy who can make things happen — so when he shares updates and mockups on Firefox 4’s user interface, we tend to pay attention. He outlines five portions of a screenshot teaser that’ll get a much cleaner, more streamlined facelift.
