Just tried it:
Great in rendering (just like Opera) so it beats Internet Explorer by miles, but scrolling is very slow (still faster then IE) but you have to wait a sec to see the content. The program also starts within a second, opera boots in 10 seconds...
So if they fix the scroll slowness, it's a great browser. Till then I use Opera (firefox is also on it's way to make a Browser)

Starting with version 1.0.10 the browser started to be really stable and fast. It still has some issues with some large pages, but as dubbeld00 said it loads and renders fast. I use it all the time on my Touch Dual now, and is very satisfied and impressed. Looking forward to upcomming releases.

Simple OS. nice idea :)

Hi all... Here's a free program which is a Today replacement, it's still in early beta, but it seems promising. I don't know if it has been posted in this forum, so i'm sorry about it if so.
I've tested it on my Trinity, it runs quite fast. it's still too early to be used regularly, but it's a nice concept.

woooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's very coool where do you find it????
Is it a total replacement or does it run on top of the normal ui so you can toggle between the normal today screen and this app?
Nice idea, doesnt work very well, heavy on processor & lots of features not supported yet, like sound mute on/off & wifi

Mozilla firefox for windows mobile...That little bit closer!

Today mozilla released an alpha version of the so called "fennec" Browser, the mobile version of firefox,
Although they have been releasing udates and actual releases for the Nokia n810 internet tablet, Today they released a version for......Desktop versions of windows, Mac os x and linux.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a1/releasenotes/
Wow!, instructions on usage are on the page. Obviosuly mozilla decided this was the best way to show you what they are working on without buying one of those silly useless (but very good) Internet tablets...
Some screens....

cool, thanks for posting.
anyword on the windows mobile install?
there is a developer's blog with screen from it running on wm6. i wish he would make it available
Looks sweet. Can't wait to try it.
TELL me about it, i can't wait for it, trying it out on the pc. It seems awesome. Youtube doesn't work, but im not sure if an installation of flash works with it. (who needs it anyway huh? Youtube program from HTC works fine!) Plug-ins are also a feature with fennec, which will be awesome for people on here to get some good useful plugins made for us all!
Available for download here
Obviously, users with proper computers need the fennec-1.0a1.en-US.win32.zip version!

Latest review - hardware zone

Yep, another largely positive review
I didn't know it had an FM-radio??

thanks for posting the link!
hmm not bad..
"Unlike the default Android home screens, the Samsung home screens always start from the leftmost side (like an iPhone), making you swipe through 6 screens just to get to an app or widget on the 7th page."
he can click on the circles to access the 7th page immediately, which is faster than having to "multi-touch" to get an overview of all screens and then selecting..
"The Samsung unlock screen is in our opinion more confusing than the default Android 2.1 unlock screen"
lol......... he can swipe it any direction he wants to access the phone.. how is that confusing..
"To post something on Facebook or Twitter, you have to use the confusingly-named and designed Write and Go app, which looks more like a notepad."
design looks fine and simple to me of write and go..
"There are almost no delays throughout the system (except when installing apps, as on other Android phones); programs open and close almost instantly,"
yay, phew.. many were complaining about slow and laggy browsing so that's good to hear.
nice battery life test and that's with 100% brightness which I will never use, so that's cool =D
strange that sony x10 performs so bad... I would not have expected that..
"At very, very few times - fewer than any other Android phone in the gigahertz speed class - did we notice slowdowns or jerky scrolling in the Android UI itself."
awesome

iPhone and Android friendly mobile sites in Opera Mobile 10...requesting assistance

I have found Opera Mobile 10 to be my favorite browser. Not just for Windows Mobile, but on every phone aside from the iPhone, which still has an advantage for me. I really like using some of the iPhone optimized mobile websites. They look great on a mobile phone and make many site, especially WordPress sites, much easier to use.
I have managed to enter a custom user agent string in Opera:Config in OM 10 so that I am presented with the iPhone/Android friendly version of sites. The problem is that those sites do not fit the screen properly when using Opera Mobile 10. They DO fit using the same iPhone friendly user agent string in Opera Mobile 9.7.
The first two screen shots are from Opera Mobile 9.7. The second two are from Opera Mobile 10. Can you provide advice on how to get Opera Mobile 10 to display a mobile site like this one properly so that left to right scrolling is not required? As a note, it make no difference whether I have "Mobile View" enabled in settings or disabled.

Share with you a new dolphin browser HDv5.0

Hey guys. According to the updates from dolphin blog, Facebook and Twitter. Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 has come out these days. I have downloaded the apk into my phone. It is amazing. Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 is a complete new version compared to the previous one. I love it. That’s exactly what I want.
Last time, they drive us the join the private beta activity, remember? I didn’t involve in. To be honest, I don’t believe this kind of thing. But it turns out to be a really great browser. The new dolphin has complete new UI, which I like very much. The home page has also been changed –how to say—more concise and leaner. What impresses me is the performance. It is faster and more stable. Another feature is that I can create new folder in the side bar.
The browser is awesome in my phone. Works great
Moreover it’s free. LOL Get it now, friends!
here is the QRcode in their blog
