Android Again
well given android also uses webkit, even with the option of installable apps, this will only help web apps if it takes off - as the lowest cost way to target a mobile app for both android and iphone is a webkit compatible web app.

Don't forget the tabs, zoom, text entry, scrolling etc that makes Safari on the iphone so easy. As long as android has all that, it could be good :)

They'd be nuts to not just copy it. iPhone's zooming is pretty awesome.

I must add that the S60 (Mostly Nokia's Symbian devices) are using webkit as well

Is that just a hunch? I'd be excited to see WebKit on the BlackBerry as well, but I haven't heard anything about it.

I was told by someone who should know, although I have been too lazy to check up (its probably publicly available).
It makes sense, webkit is getting so much work for mobile from google and apple and others, why not.
