Read the Windows Mobile Web Browser Bible - I've just added a new, Picsel-related section & completely updated the chart: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=150925

Verbose, self agrandizing, boring!

Well thought out, Detailed and interesting...

Its a shame I'd need to buy hardware to play with it, Are Picsel the people who did the custom software on the Sony Clie?

Menneisyys · 04-11-07, 03:46 PM

Sorry, I've, based on how the HowardForums and XDA-Dev folks love the Picsel browser, assumed everyone wants to know how it fares against the competition. This is why the "bombastic" title :)

(BTW, I've just added a "Verdict" section to the Picsel review.)

I heard it was hard to get ahold of, alot of Brighthanders claim it to have been one of the better browsers...

Menneisyys · 04-11-07, 04:54 PM

Yup, it's, as it's an OEM app, pretty hard to get officially. Fortunately, a HowardForums guy posted it to a public page (see the link). Dunno where he has got it from. A lot of XDA-Dev folks also have it though - it may have been ripped from the Samsung PPC phone it was factory-installed on, dunno.

I've just downloaded it from a mDigger update. So it is official?

(Works on X51v btw without blur or error...)

It gives a very different feel to browsing. Opera 8.65 has a somewhat similar scroll feature but not as flashy as P-browsers', I must say that for a free browser its a worthy addition...:approve:

Menneisyys · 04-12-07, 09:34 AM

Yeah, scrolling / zooming / stylus support is very well done in it - MUCH better than in any other WM Web browser.

I had this on my clie awile ago but it didn't support web browsing then, just html. Real cool. nice FX. too slow to use for a browser though.
