safari in windows mobile released

Yes, now you can enjoy Safari in Windows Mobile, the same browser that iPhone has, here side by side comparison (here: desktop version of CNN website in HTC Touch Diamond and in Apple iPhone 3G):

In reality the truth is a bit different: Torch Mobile company has released a beta version of their Iris for Windows Mobile that uses Webkit rendering engine - an open source project of Apple - the very same that Safari for iPhone is using. You can download it in beta version here:
http://www.torchmobile.com/download
More information about Iris:
Iris Browser™ for Windows Mobile® 5 & 6 is now available for free download! Simply register with us by providing your name and contact information and download the CAB to your PC or directly to your phone. Then follow along as Torch Mobile makes regular improvements to the browser, adding new features, making it faster, and generally improving the user experience.
Please remember that this is early preview software
Our impressions: it is rendering web pages exactly the same as Safari for iPhone but is slower, what may change after final version will be relesaed.

Only WM6?
(forget my post!)

i like it works great on my sprint mogul, now i can use this in addition to skyfire thanks for the notice

Any further Notes? I Just hardresetted and reinstalled my Vario. Don't want a buggy app to destroy this harmony
Actually i'm using the Opera Beta... Does it use the "double tap to overview" mode like opera does? This feature i'm missing the most in other apps.
Better? Worse?

Found a user-video:

Has Potential
Found it very sluggish on my Kaiser. Some very obvious things missing:
1. No direct input for a URL. Why go via their start page (money?)
2. No automatic page overview (a la Opera Mini/Safari) when you first go to a website.
I will keep an eye on it as I think it could develop into a very good browser. Let's face it, Internet Explorer is hardly competition these days!

Aw... just tried it now
Feels very similar to opera, with some more (nice?) effects... doubletap is also enabled....
Plus: Easy to use, you can activate a virtual mouse cursor and scroll via D-Pad, built in traffic counter
Minus: but in the whole it feels a little slower and takes more RAM. Scrolling isn't that smooth.
Just my opinion after 5 minutes testing.

People! People! Those misleading headlines from msmobiles.com don't have to follow us to XDA-Developers! Safari?! I expect to see something smarter in the development forum. Just say a WebKit-based browser or something of that sort.
I'm sorry, but I was annoyed by the repeated inappropriate titles by msmobiles and now they're here.

yep the title is wrong... should be corrected...
i knew this browser already and i have to say it didn´t become better yet... it´s still so slow and buggy... i will wait until it´s really final

Works fine even on WM6 standard, just tried it in my HTC Vox, however it's slow... Maybe it runs better on 400 Mhz & faster devices?
The visual history is cool though, reminds me of the browser that was in my Nokia N73, it looked better in N73 though.
Also the mouse cursor is very handy.
An annoying thing is that it uses the same cache as IE, the browser installs fine on the storage card but it very quickly eats up a lot of the phone storage while browsing...
There should be an option to turn off all the transition effects, it's nice eye candy but I guess disabling it could improve performance a bit.

This is one slow browser! Slower than PIE. Has alot of catching up to be like safari or Opera Mobile.

sorry but i still can't find a browser which stands up to NetFront 3.5 considering the speed, the comfortness and the fact that it supports loads of languages.

Can netfront download anything?

I second NetFront 3.5, it's been a topnotch browser for me, and I've tried em all. Opera is good but web pages doesn't look as good as in NetFront. The ONLY thing I wish NetFront had, and correct me if I just missed something, is the initial Overview when entering a page, like OperaMini for instance. So you'd see the whole page instead of Zoom as default.

Yes, you can download files and it's actually very comfortable. you click on a zip file for instance and it just asks you where to save it.. main memory or storage card and in which dir.

There are many viewing and zooming options in this browser.. i didn't check if you can get a full page view as default... but you CAN get a fullpage view by double clicking the screen so you can choose which part of the screen you want to zoom in on.
wonderful app in my eyes.
this is it, by the way:
http://rapidshare.com/files/117817843/NFB35EN_WMPRO_R007CV.CAB
enjoy.

I'm in the NetFront 3.5 camp as well. Nothing I have tried has been as nice to use as NetFront. I've tried all of the new iterations of Opera, and none of them are as fast and intuitive as NF.
I'm even using it now to make this reply.
The momenum scrolling is great, and the only real issue I have with it is the ''out of memory'' errors that I get when loading large graphics-heavy pages.

Thanks for the download link for NF. I'll try it out later.

TSK TSK.. I was browsing the forum till i got to see this headline.
IMMEDIATELY I thought to myself wow sounds JUST LIKE something out of msmobiles...
Well, im not surprised to find out this actually did come from them.
We don't need this sensationalist CRAP. I avoid msmobiles at ALL COSTS, Their stories are SO unprofessionally written they are LAUGHABLE. Seriously, its SO BAD it makes my eyes hurt.
Im serious. Go to their website all you will see is "ZOMG MICROSOFTZ IZ NEGLECTING WINDOWZ MOBILE SILVERLIGHT TILT SENSORZZZZZ ZOMG SYMBIAN IPHONE"
My God, mods please lock this thread. =(

wow. angrier fella than i am... that's rare.

Netfront guys; How do I get it to be seen a full fledged browser and not a mobile browser? Sites constantly force their mobile versions on (Google, iGoogle, CNN, etc.) when I really want to see their full versions. I didn't see a setting to alter how the browser is seen by web sites it visits. Thanks.

REVIEW: INTERNET EXPLORER Mobile 6 for Windows Mobile - VGA screenshots!
Curtsey of kdskamal

Internet Explorer Mobile 6, which is the next generation browser for Windows Mobile.
Click to expand...

Yeah Right !!!, thats the last Explorer i'll use in my ppc

lol, it actually looks promising. I have Opera on my Diamond and it crashes a lot especially when rotating. And it causes Manila to crash too when you close Opera.
So maybe this can be a good thing.
MAYBE being the keyword there.

I've read some reviews about the new IE6 for WM6 and i consider Opera offers a better usability and modern user interface, but may be MS bring us finally a decent Browser

Some of the cool features available with Internet Explorer Mobile 6 are:
Improved multimedia experience (Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 for Adobe Flash content)
[/QUOTE]
Does this mean that PIE will finally be able to play Flash content (i.e. Youtube)? If I can use this to get rid of Skyfire, I will be a happy man!

I'll wait and see. Microsoft promised alot over the years, but didn't actually deliver most of the time.
Hope they prove me wrong though. Until then, i'll keep my Opera 9.

Any chance of riping this out of the emulator and making a cab for all us? It's something that is beyond my skill or I would give it a shot.

working on that. dont know yet if it has to be cooked in. also, there are no 320x240 emulator images available. that probably wont matter.
edit: ok there is 320x240 available. its 5.2.20757 AKU 1.4.0. nothing new here.

downloaded and tried it. it was slow as hell on the emulator.

lol. microsoft say everything they do is the next generation of things.
that doesn't mean it's a better generation

how does this look?

ohhh gr8!!!!!!!
finally flash on PIE

seems to be very nice so far. that is on my CDMA diamond.

Did I miss something? How is this different from the PIE6 that's in the DFT rom I've been using since Septemeber?

What gets me is that the WM team are saying it won't be available as a download or upgrade because "the rich media experiences that IE Mobile 6 enables require more powerful, advanced devices".
Excuse me? Why then can others like OPera offer the same (or even better) on existing AND older devices?
It's a joke!

because they have so bad programmers who can´t manage that on slower cpus
Its like xp and vista, if you want vista to run you need to double or quadruble your RAM only because of some glassy windows. They are so incompetent. it is lousy programming: if its to slow, buy another faster cpu !

Is there a cab available for download yet then?

I guess bluemetal has a point in here although that is not the whole story. You see, the only way for these clowns to make money on mobile software is by selling it to device manufacturers, so if they are going to continue making software for mobile devices they have to make absolutely certain that the public thinks that there will be no chance in hell of getting "prettier" software on their older devices. By doing so, they push the sale of newer devices, and indirectly their new OS' to the public. To make things even more convincing, they release these ridiculous statements about how the devices are not powerful enough to handle it. I mean, why do you think that they have not offered upgrades to older phones (WM2003 to WM5 or WM5 to WM6)? It certainly is possible to do that (says a guy who has had a Blue Angel since early 2005 running an OS version that most new phones still don't have). Bluemetal's statement needs a small correction, it isn't that their programmers are bad (at least not all of them), but the code is written like that on purpose. Can the code be cleaned up for it to run better, faster, and in older devices? Hell Yes!!! Do they want to? F&^k No!!!!! (it is bad for business...

I can't seem to get the emulator to connect to the Internet. I've gone into File->Configure and selected my network card on the Networks tab, and the emulator appears to connect fine (icon in taskbar shows a connection, and then prompts me to choose "connects to Work or The Internet," as expected). But when I go into IE6, I can't get any pages to load. Just a "no DNS found" error each time. Is there some other setting I need to tweak somewhere?

Thanks for the heads up.

signed version
how to get it signed!? I hate these popup questions everytime i click on smtg
thanks

edit your selector.utf file and change the domain for the mini 4.2 suite to be tckmax. add 3 spaces after the word tckmax to keep the file the same length.
4.2 is a yawner for me. mobile youtube support. big whoop. skins? yawn.
notes? your kidding right. speed up? I'm sure that if they have us based servers now, your old version 4.1 is using them.

Alright!!
Let's give it a try ~~~~

4.2 definitely feels much faster to me. i only use wifi for browsing, but it's definitely loading pages much faster than before. glad they finally have a us server too. 4.1 still went through the NO servers (at least on my phone it did), and it was extremely annoying when sites that automatically set your location thought i was in norway.
to get the signed version, just click on the link (on your phone) to select a different version. all the signed ones are right there.

Thanks! Installed & works for me using Esmertec JavaVM...using black skin; very fast.

No need to do dirty hacks on java security, just download the correct (signed version), from the alternate links on mini.opera.com\beta

It is faster for me and I love the skins.
I prefer green skin right now.

Hi, does someone tested it on vga screen ( diamond for example ) ? What about the fonts size ?
Ciao

Here is the link to launch it directly and the icon dll
Just put the dll in /windows/appdb and the lnk where you want

I've been looking for one of these! I'll definitely be trying this out.

looks really awesome.
One clarification: does this repair the files too?
This is really going to get my service provider jump to the roof.

Works great, First used v1.3 on my diamond, this was not usable (crashes)
but 1.4 works like a charm.
btw also tested on a Omnia (WQVGA and this also works)

I got the following error
Error:System.Net.Sockets.Socket
I am trying to use astraweb.
Thanks
Never mind it was because it was a secure server
normal one works fine

Can we use SSL? With nzb mobile or any other tunnelling software like stunnel on win? Because my news provider use only snntp.

wait, it doesn't work with NetFramework 3.5?

Well it is still a mobile phone, not a desktop pc. Increasing the number of simultaneous connections, will increase the number of processor threads. There are limitions to the number of threads that can be run on windows mobile. But who knows, the new chipsets are getting faster and new versions of windows mobile are coming out. For now 4 connections are enough to get the max speed for most mobile connections out there (3G, HSDPA).

It should work just fine with .net framework 3.5.

4 connections ... 6 must be better or 8 max... For wifi connections around the city and slows NNTP servers.

I have been looking for this type of application for a couple of years now. Works great on my pro, and I love it. Integration with a search engine would be downright perfection. Either way thank you kindly for the app.

sweet! thanks mate
I'm also using SABNZBD+ on my NAS at home - it would be great if I could use my mobile phone to initiate the download.....
I know such an app is available for the IPhone but not yet found one for winmo.

[Discussion] WM applications missing from Android

Most of people here has moved from windows mobile 6.5 to Android after this great revolution.
Did you have any programs in windows mobile that you are missing and wish to be on Android or you don't even know that they exists? maybe those are preventing you from completely switching to Android.
The purpose of this discussion is to help each other finding replacement tools and applications for some useful applications in windows mobile.
My applications that i missed from windows mobile:
* LMT : multitouch launcher - I've viewed a previous thread telling that it is not possible to create such an application, but in my opinion it could be done using the Accessibility services-
* g-trigger : Perform actions based on gestures with the phone. found some replacements as shake2* (shake to play next, shake to mute but those uses only one gesture with very limited actions) , tasker ( very hard to configure and record gestures)
* Garmin : I know there are many GPS applications but there is no one that can work offline, create custom map and provide 3D navigation. Since no GPS application is offering a map for my country. I usually use openstreetmap and offline map downloader to create vector navigation map for Garmin.
* And finally the reverse tethering (Internet Pass Through) just like what activesync was doing for non Desire HD/Z based ROMS (can't use them since they lack some Arabic support and are much slower than cyanogen and stock builds). I was able to reverse USB tethering to browse the web through my PC internet but many applications on Android won't run if there is no wifi or data connection is available -thinking of providing a virtual wireless interface but this needs more time -.
Do you know any replacements? or do you miss other applications from windows mobile?

Have you tried OsmAnd? Free satnav app which uses openstreetmap and consistently gets good ratings.

Forced to use wimo only by tomtom navigator or update build.

Use CoPiliot for offline GPS navigation - I do and it works great.

Ahhh see living in the United States, CoPilot works flawlessly for me but it's definitely not my favorite. I really prefer iGO8 from WM but I have yet to find a similar GPS software for Android that is available in the United States.

maybe Navigon would be the best for me, but i'd really be glad to give it a test before spending 60€...

Actually this image is from the internet
I live in Syria. IGO, AERO, CoPilot and Navigon do not provide a map or navigation for my country!
The good thing with Garmin is that it can give me the features of those applications with a custom map taken from a map source.

I only use WM for TomTom now (and not even that... I live in London and do not drive when in the city, so no need).
However I have yet to find an e-book reader as useful as AlReader2, although CoolReader is getting close. All of Android readers are either limited on file-type, have specific storage locations, or look ugly/have no night-mode when reading.
And I'm glad VPlayer has come along, as I was otherwise missing TMPCP or whatever that video player was called, and I didn't want to pay for RockPlayer.

1. the calculator of Wm6.5 and the new WM7, they are great.
2. the way WM6.5 (don't know what WM7 does) groups contacts, the 2 versions of Android I tried do not work well for me.
3. don't like HTC Sync it is too unstable and has too many requirements (I had to setup an XP disk just to load my contacts and it was painful), prefer Active Sync it works on any OS
4. battery drain for WM is about 5% overnight with the 2 Android builds it was close to 60%, simply unacceptable.
5. flipping only 1h2m on the darn clock every time you look at it, Android starts from 12:00 and goes to 23:59 that drives me crazy
6. versions of Android that are out seem to be too unstable for my taste and the last one completely crashed my HD2 and had to reinstall radio and rom and had a hard time doing it. Now I am back to stock radio/rom of WM6.5 until everything on an Android build is stable.
On the other hand
1. locking out WAP was easier on Android
2. miss the digital clocks of Android
3. setup was easier on Android
4. the message balloons were easier to see
