Interesting. I am checking it out now. I don't know if I see 5x speed increase over PIE, but that may come with caching over time.

Would you be willing to pay a subscription for a web browser?

You've gotta be @#$king kidding me.
C++? Nobody does assembler anymore?
seems like opera mini, but based in c++.
doesn't specify if it supports tabbed browsing.
Edit: take a look at the large image on the left, theres an option to "open in new tab"

Just used it for a bit and wow. Make sure and turn off ftouchflo because it has its own finger scrolling and it is very good imo.
I would never pay 3 bucks a month to use it, but I would definitely pay a little and use it.
It seems much faster than IE to me, this one gets the info, then loads the page. IE takes a long time and scrolling is slow.
ibisBrowser Not Secure
From their website:
"When you access to the pages using SSL, the communication between the ibisBrowser server and the target site is encrypted by SSL. The communication between your mobile phone and the ibisBrowser server is, however, not encrypted."
I think that I'll pass.

Have you ever written in assembly before? It sucks. balls.
Besides, any good compiler these days can compile code that rivals even the most experienced assembly programmer.

Can you connect now? I'm getting the "Can't connect to ibis.ne.jp:80: Host not found" error message.
I somehow dislike the idea of having all my data transfered through their servers...but maybe i'll test it...

I kind of like it. Reminds me alot like Opera Mini, but it's native for Windows Mobile. The only thing is that it takes forever to load a webpage.

Ok, good point. But in terms of airplay on the Radio(both OTA and Satallite), Soulja Boy is absolutely crushing everyone else. And T-Pain is playing the Lil' Wayne card in having a spot in just about every rap out there right now.
Well not out yet but beta version should be available soon. Opera Mobile 9.5 browser. Everything you need from a browser on your phone. However still missing flash capabilities. See the video below.

lol what i meant was it has the functionality of opera mini and more. But its a proper ppc app not a java application.
Just seen the opera press release http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2008/02/05/
If you look under the section that says fully loaded:
Web 2.0-enabled, Widget-ready and Flash support turn Opera Mobile 9.5 into a fully loaded browser allowing users to access all their favorite Web sites such as Facebook, MySpace and more. With Opera Mobile 9.5, OEMs and operators will have the capability to include Flash Lite 3, empowering their smartphone users with access to the full Web including the ability to watch videos on YouTube effortlessly. So i was wrong first time it does have flash.

This made me crack up! Funniest post in a long time.
I'm glad the OP took it well.
I'd be very surprised if they'd release a beta to us regular customers before 2009/2010... I've completely lost my hope in Opera.
Over a year ago they told us Opera Mobile 9.0 was going to be released SOON
sounds good, does anyone know when it is supposed to be released?
Well, the situation with wm browsers is exactly like the pre-Firefox IE6 era. Please Opera, make a decent browser, release it NOW that its time has come and you will definetly be the Firefox of the WM platform!
Well, it looks it's intended for manufactures and carriers, and not for final user sales...
What has really surprised me is this:
Opera Mobile 9.5 will be available on all major platforms including Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux, as both a standalone browser and as a SDK.

check out skyfire, (still in private beta tho) http://www.skyfire.com/
Wow... it's looks great. And I thought PIE 6.1 is gonna take over as the main browser.
i presume its not going to be free though... shame.

PIE (even 6.1) is rubbish. It doesnt render the page in desktop mode at all. The formatting is always wrong. The Zoom feature of 6.1 is next to useless.
at the moment the only browser that comes close to the desktop experience is Opera Mini. OM9.5 looks like the right way forward.

Skyfire hasn't started their public private beta testing yet. I signed up for it but to know that they'll be seeing what sites I surf to due to server side rendering, I think I'd take Opera 9.5 over it.
Like it's been said before in this post, Opera 9 was promised how long ago? Hopefully 9.5 comes out before WM6.1 is obsolete.

Huh!? Are you completely sure about that? I thought Opera Mobile 9.5 would be a FULL browser just like Nokias browser and Opera 8.65... Why server side rendering when Opera Mini 4 already does that!
msmobiles is reporting that it is local rendering.

Unlike Opera Mini and unlike Skyfire, Opera Moible 9.5 is a genuine stand-alone Internet browser, that doesn't require any proxy servers.

I have this skyfire beta but i don't live in the US and i'm not registered in their database so i can't try this amazing wannabe browser.
So i ask you if anyone could hack this beta and make it free to use for everyone.
Thank you guys, you are the best!
download skyfire beta here
http://www.savefile.com/files/1490271
Nope. Skyfire is server-side based.
Also, there are a lot of developers on here. Ask them how they'd like it if a CLOSED beta of theirs got cracked in such a manner. Just wait your turn and it'll come to you when they have a more polished product.

No, Mobile Firefox is a windows application that will run directly from a USB memory stick. The smart phone version of Firefox is known as "Fennec", but it is in alpha and currently only runs on Nokia tablets.

I hear that a beta should be out very soon.
If you are tired of Opera, try NetFront! I use only this Briwser. After some customiations it is the perfect browsing experience! (this post has been typed in NetFront )

http://mobilefirefox.com/ is the portable win version.. so its not what we need..
I heart monday 2. feb.. Leys hope, cuz my opera keeps crashing when i rotate my device..

there is an early alpha out, isnt there? im sure i saw a link somewhere on irc?
Hey...a couple browser issues:
1. Given my appreciation of Chrome I had reason to expect Froyo browser performance to live up to Google's 'fastest mobile browser ever claim'. I think its faster than 2.1 browser but not at all faster than Skyfire and other browsers in the Market. (Based on avg. time it takes to download certain sites).
2. Hey guys how can we experience the 'full glory of web pages if the browser uses mobile versions of sites?...Despite having desktop user chosen? Any tricks I need to be aware of?
thanks
Look up how skyfire works, that is why it renders pages faster, same with opera.
Yeah well Opera fir sure....much poorer rendering of pages....
Skyfire not so sure....those pages are as sharp as stock.
Opera. Mini and skyfire use outside servers to view the pages, tub rerender them for mobile. This is why nothing secure, I.e. banking should be done with them. Opera mobile,fennec, IE mobile, and Google (nexus one stock) browsers. Render within the phone. Not sure about steel though.

Good info...didn't know.
I believe on android skyfire, only uses servers for video, web is done on the same framework as the stock browser.

Type "about:debug" into the URL bar and hit "Go" on the keyboard [the arrow won't work]. Then go to settings > UAString [at the bottom] and change to Desktop. Unfortunately this isn't a permanent solution because it resets back to Android at the end of the session. For more convenient switching we're going to have to wait for CM6 and other Froyo based ROMs.
Why would you want to use a desktop version of a site if there is a mobile version available, thats STUPID
Probably because mobile versions are often lacking content.

This is true. SkyFire for Android only proxy's the Video content. They didn't take the time to build a full blown browser for Andoird. They bought the Steel Browser to work as the base of theirs and just changed it up for the video proxy.

I don't get your post
But it is stupid to want to use a desktop version of a site on a mobile device, thats like trying to use Win 7 on your nexus!
The claim wasn't about rendering speed but for javascript performance
Mobile versions if websites miss content.
The few I saw before changing to desktop didn't allow pinch and zoom either.
In fact they couldn't be resized at all.

I get that mobile versions may be missing content, but that just means that the developers of those site need to do their job better
What I don't get is how having a website specifically designed for type of device you are using is a bad thing?
If you Disable flash The browser is much faster!
