Iris - a free Internet Browser for Windows Mobile

-


I found this post about the Iris Browser in one of my favorite blogs: the TiltSite

I immediately downloaded Iris Browser and found that it is working a bit slow, but very useful. The animation is not perfect yet, (you need to slide your finger and only after a while the page will start moving), but has some really innovative animation when moving between page to page...

The browser also has a nice page review pane which resemble the Opera Mini concept – which I like.


Many features are already fully functional (mouse cursor, zoom, full mode, desktop mode, mobile mode, etc.)




Double click does not zoom in/out yet, hopefully it will in future versions. There are still some bugs: for instance, the hattrick.org site (a free soccer game) did not work properly.


In addition, I encountered some errors while playing around with the freeware.




Nevertheless, I recommend you download the Iris Browser and try it out while it is still free!

And also, keep the following link (http://www.torchmobile.com/products/) and stay tuned with updates and new versions of the Iris browser.


Enjoy!

A List of All Operating Systems Running on Smartwatches [Wearables]

Traveling back from MWC15, I went over my smartwatch notes and noticed many of the Android players demonstrated smartwatches which were not running Android Wear. In an attempt to better understand the smartwatch market I’ve collected the names (and details) of the different operating systems used by today’s (and tomorrow’s) smartwatches. I’m happy to share with your the definitely incomplete list of wearable operating systems! Smartwatch Operating System – A Fragmented WorldAndroid WearProbably the OS with the fastest progress, Android Wear was recently reported to account for just 15% of smartwatch sales in 2014 (total of 700,000 devices). That’s not much, mainly because the platform was only introduced in the middle of the year and still suffers from serious limitations and battery life challenges. Android Wear OS is designed to be paired with Android smartphones (version 4.3 and on), but there are already rumors that an iOS app will be available soon. Android Wear is available most…

What's the meaning of "i" in iPhone, iPad?

Recently I've been thinking about the "I" meaning in all of Apple's products: iPod, iPad, iPhone… what's the "i" for? Internet? Nowadays it's not that cool any longer, isn't it? Internet is a given. Is it "i" like "me"? I looked for an answer and found it in an interesting article that included the following:"It was early 1997 and Steven P. Jobs had just recently returned to Apple as Interim Chief Executive Officer (At first he was just there to help and publicly stated that he did not want the full-time job at the time). Apple was about 6 months from full insolvency and company morale was at an all time low. There were warring factions and fiefdoms pitting any number of internal groups against each other, with each assigning blame for Apple’s slow demise. Steve Jobs spent his first few months cutting irrelevant products. He felt that there were two very important products to focus on: The Mac Product Line and The PowerB…

The Challenge in Being the “New Microsoft”

It is very trendy these days to talk about the “new Microsoft”. Analysts, bloggers, reporters, are mostly praising the software giant for being more open to non-Microsoft technologies and platforms than in the past. It’s also noticeable that the company is trying hard to create a buzz by announcing new software and hardware in an amazing pace. Office for iOS, Windows 10, HoloLens, Microsoft Band, open source and cross platform .Net… wow! amazing! so many things in just few months. I love it. However…As much as I understand (and mostly support) what Microsoft is doing, there is also a problem with Microsoft’s recent “announcements outrage” and that’s lack of consistency. Here are just a few examples form the top of my head: 1. Outlook for iOSOutlook for iOS was released with a lot of buzz. everyone is excited about it, but it’s no other than the good old Acompli app we all know for a while. Not that it’s a bad thing, but it’s just that the app, as great as it is, is completely inconsis…
