Menneisyys is not technically part of the “team” here, but he’s been around quite some time and he shares some really technical reviews across the entire Windows Mobile Community. I wish I would have had a chance to meet him in person at the MVP Summit last week, but maybe next time.
Anyhow, last week I posted some news about another browser for Windows Mobile. Well, now we know it’s really not a standalone browsers. It sits on top of Pocket Internet Explorer. Ruh Roh. Menneisyys shares his review in the forums. This should hold you off until Ksong finishes his review.
Web browsing is one of the major application areas of portable devices – no wonder the iPhone is also Web-centric with its excellent Safari browser.
The “accelerated” scrolling mode of Safari is widely copied in the Windows Mobile world. The latest title to support this kind of screen dragging mode is Touch Browser by Makayama available for purchase and, now, trial download HERE (manual HERE).
It’s an external wrapper to Internet Explorer Mobile (IEM), just like Webby and unlike traditional IEM plug-ins like Spb Pocket Plus, PIEPlus and MultiIE. This also means it has some of the inherent problems common to all these solutions; more on this later.
