Since it's RIM news and other sites have placed it on their front page figured I would follow in kind. Plus it will get more exposure on the front page than in the 3rd party apps.

Well I will be super surprised if it happens. Blackberry/RIM are ANTI-content. The entire goal of their OS is usually to NOT deliver content. Cases in point:

- Facebook app which since inception has delivered ZERO content. You can POST to Facebook, but never get the content.

- Web browser which spends a LOT of time "requesting" pages and not a lot of time actually showing you ... y'know ... content.

- E-Mail which, until this past summer, had gone 10 years without displaying anything other than raw text.

- Youtube app which provides 28.8k modem quality video with mono sound.

Delivering content is antithetical to RIM's entire philosophy. So I for one will be completely shocked if this comes to fruition.

I'm glad! This current version sucks! Some of the threads come over normal, some make you click a link, which doesn't take you anywhere near the thread.
