Re: OT: Itouch Browser
o.o why isn't she? it's pretty freakin' close to a desktop browser when compated to most other mobile browsers. 100x better than many out there. If it's lack of flash that's bogging it down, GL is all i have to say ;) On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 12:49 PM, Jim wrote: > My wife is not satisfied with Safari as a browser on her Ipod Touch. > Are there any other browsers what will work? > > Jim > --- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > -- Thanks and best regards, Ryan Rix TamsPalm - The PalmOS Blog (623)-239-1103 <-- Grand Central, baby!

Re: OT: Itouch Browser
Opera? I'd be surprised if there are any browsers in the App Store. Why would Apple let something through that could compete with something that already exists on the phone? :P if you can get her to jailbreak her iTouch, I'm certain you could lovingly compile something else for her. :) Excerpts from farli's message of Fri Mar 20 12:49:22 -0700 2009: > My wife is not satisfied with Safari as a browser on her Ipod Touch. > Are there any other browsers what will work? > > Jim --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

That sort of depends on what your wife doesn't like about MobileSafari. See, Apple will not allow any alternative browsers (like Opera or the upcoming Fennec) on the App Store. In theory, they could be installed on a jailbroken Touch or iPhone but in practice, I've never seen any. There is a loophole to Apple's restrictions, though. If you use the Safari WebKit backend, then you can create your own UI for the browser. There are already quite a few on the App Store, all with their own little quirks. So if it's the UI features that are lacking, then you could try one of the others. If it's the underlying "crashes whenever you go to complex pages" problem or the "can't visit pages with flash" issue, then there's nothing that can be done. Here's a brief review of some of the "legal" alternatives: http://www.macworld.com/article/138409/2009/01/iphonebrowsers.html --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
