Another Mobile Browser for Windows Mobile surfaces today. This one from Makayama, called TouchBrowser.

Get iPhone-style internet browsing on your Pocket PC. TouchBrowser lets you control everything using only your fingers. You can type using the large keyboard, glide through web content and scroll through pages with a flick, with full page view.

I am using a Windows Mobile Standard Phone this week, so I am not able to check this one out yet, but I talked with someone that has today and they reported that it was “Ok”.

Here is a video of it in use:

Head over to Makayama for more info and let us know what you think.

    It is compatible with WM6.1.

    It's really not a browser, it's an add on to PIE, not compatible with 6.1, although they have released a trial now! :azz:
  • Menneisyys
    I've just published my review; see http://www.aximsite.com/boards/applications/227...
  • @vince...
    Thanks for that. I was wondering if it was just a wrapper for PIE.

    I do like the pan scrolling wrapper that SPB Pocket plus uses... and along with the ability to add tabs it makes PIE useable for me

    I just bought it for a goof. What a piece of garbage. First of all, you can’t even set your own homepage, no matter what is in the homepage setting, it goes to MSN.com. Second, it’s slow as crap on the Touch Cruise. Waste of money.
  • hyedipin
    No zoom out option makes it a bit difficult to use, probably because it uses PIE. Good concept, but incomplete.
  • Nagrom
    This is definitely not a new browser. In fact it sucks more than PIE because it uses more resources.
  • from the fine print on the site

    "Why do some pages display incorrect?
    TouchBrowser uses the Pocket Internet Explorer to render HTML pages. It's a new user interface on top of an existing browser. TouchBrowser renders pages exactly the same as Pocket Internet Explorer. Pages that Pocket Internet Explorer can't handle correctly (like websites with Flash, or with complex layouts) are also rendered incorrectly by Touchbrowser. If you're looking for a browser that can handle these websites correctly, Touchbrowser is not the thing you're looking for, but we advice Opera or a similar browser based on a more modern rendering engine.
