Sorry SuperFly ... lol . But I have to take some of what I said back. I took a look at the Iris Browser again, today. It's quite improved on the latest v.1.0.10, just released 5/5/2008. But it's still slow. It renders very nicely, though. The MSN homepage "dashboard" even transitions nicely, although MSN took a decade to download. I find a good test for these mobile browsers is to go the desktop version of Facebook. The original Facebook site is too heavy for Iris at this time (I get the following error: "Memory usage exceeds process memory limit!"), which is wierd (Opera has no problem with the desktop Facebook site IMO). Maybe it has something to do with WebKit. The iPhone Facebook site loads pretty well in it, though.
