Makayama TouchBrowser for Pocket PC


From the start of the iPhone, companies and producers of mobile devices and both have been tripping over to the revolutionary Internet experience in the iPhone for Windows Mobile / Symbian / Palm OS. Obvious examples include Opera and Mozilla who were seized update the basic functions of the browser to allow their functions, such as resizable full-screen viewing. In addition, Microsoft quickly around his update to the Windows Mobile platform with a finger-more (rather than the letter) for better-friendly navigation and Internet Explorer (IE) browser is a substantial improvement.

So far, however, Opera is only one of them the most user-friendly features of mobile Safari, that is able to move on a website by dragging a finger - even update IE has eschewed the idea. Unfortunately, while both the Mobile Opera and Opera is a very capable browser, their implementations of finger-scrolling are slightly klønet. In particular, when you scroll through the page and move to stutter, there is no support for high-speed scroll by flicking your finger on the screen. Put simply, it is definitely room for improvement. Yes, this lack of a fully convincing solution to the big boys, smaller developers have had the opportunity to make a splash in this potentially huge market. I first door is now Makayama, TouchBrowser (full names of original characters) - a full screen, finger-friendly Internet browser for Windows Mobile.

The program was released only a few days ago and probably saw Gordon's message, announcing that fact, but there are software, all required to obtain samples is making rapid exchange of e-mail and wait for files to download short - not couriers Getting lost this time. Yes, we are here today with several devices loaded with TouchBrowser and we're ready for a full evaluation.

TouchBrowser is available for Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6 and all versions cost the same € 11.95 (around only under tenner) for an indefinite period, a single user license. Compared with the current favourite of mobile phones, Opera Mobile, costs 24 dollars, while Safari is, of course, exclusive to the iPhone, iPod Touch and acquisition of Internet Explorer, with all devices with Windows Mobile. Thus, taking into account the possibility, it is not a bad price, or at least so it seems.

Unlike all other mobile alternatives TouchBrowser is actually just an extension of Internet Explorer so paying ten quid only because of not using the stylus seems a bit steep. In addition, in connection with the use IE (rather weak) rendering engine so you will often find dodgily formatted web pages with pictures, tables and the menu scattered all over the place. After he said that if the browser provides a smooth, easy to use, truly finger-friendly viewing experience will immediately move to the top of our list of Internet wishes, even if a few pages to look a little strange.
