How does IE on mobile phones stack up against other Webkit browsers on iOS, Android and BlackBerry? Does it lack speed or have compatibility issues? Should MS think about Webkit going forward to keep up with the competition?

So is Google deciding to fork off Webkit into Blink good or bad for the overall mobile web community?Webkits monopoly standing instantly turns any feature they release into a pseudo standard, because mobile websites must be Webkit compatible. Whether the result is actually standards compliant is secondary. So, the entire mobile web is currently one huge pile of messy incompatibilities, which all too often are tested only with two Webkit based browsers (Safari & Chrome).

This shift is unlikely as Google has said that they intent to still use "webkit" as the vendor-specific CSS prefix. Ugh.Will be funny if [crappy web developers] now flock to Blink because it's from their favourite company, Google.
IE is not very good on wp8, using a 920. Other browsers are faster from my experience and also burn less battery.
