Thrillworks Launches New Mobile BlackBerry Websites for RIM

September 3, 2010

Another incredible accomplishment with our friends at Research In Motion! Thrillworks has delivered nothing short of a miracle and launched RIM's newly designed mobile BlackBerry websites for Canada and the United States.

The new websites feature multiple layouts with horizontal scrolling for WebKit-based touch devices, and dynamic scaling so the sites also look their best on as many devices as possible. The skilled team at Thrillworks executed this technical marvel with an extremely aggressive timeline, accommodating multiple design and content revisions, and implementing advanced features that make these sites quite an achievement.

We're incredibly proud of our team, and very pleased to partner with RIM on such exciting projects.
