Why? Because one of the major reasons I bought my BB 9780, is for me to be able to open, login, and add / edit details on a HTTPS website that currently can be be 100% accessed via IE [ yes, I've tried it via Firefox since 4 years ago and I can open + login, but I can't add / edit details, view certain pages etc ]. QUOTE(mikelanding @ Jan 7 2011, 07:47 PM) Why need Internet Explorer when RIM got it own webkit browser that perform like Desktop?? For phone feature, dont think it will have like at this moment. It even dont come with 3G connection. Purely wifi now. But it got a 4G variant specifically for US Sprint.. I dont think Malaysia will get 4G soon. About BIS, so far RIM design it to use with another BB phone for BBM, calanders, Emails.

Eeerrr no, not yet as the native browser in the 9780 cannot open the https website that I need to access at least thrice daily... I hope the upcoming Playbook can open it... I seriously hope so.

Yep, secure company website. Sad to say that for a premier worldwide company, they can't be bothered to contact RIM and RIM to assist.
Anyone can confirm whether the upcoming Playbook will have Internet Explorer, as that's the only browser whereby I can do a proper 100% login, view and edit information in a https website?

Definitely no IE for PlayBook. IE is a Microsoft Product. It'll most likely use the Webkit Browser which should also support the HTTPS protocol. I would find it weird if they implement support for HTML5 and Adobe Flash but they never implement HTTPS or other protocols like FTP even if HTML5 is not a protocol but a web design language.

Not even IE emulators of some sort meh? Aiyaiyai! But yeah, if the Playbook do not support HTTPS, then I will not buy it. QUOTE(ffrulz @ Jan 16 2011, 06:49 PM) Definitely no IE for PlayBook.
