What is better about it than, say, dolphin browser, for instance?

whatsleft4her · #3 (**permalink**) 02-28-2010, 11:44 PM

well the fact that we will most likely get more updates and better support, also the fact that its a file browser also. faster in my opinion, and pin zooming is pretty cool.

Yea, I shy away from almost anything I can't demo before I shell out cheese for.

Wow guys. Its .99 and you can return it in 24 hours for a refund if you dont like it. That is trying before you buy it.

99 cent is low the problem is just that with a browser i need more than a 24 hr trial to really decide (especially since any advantages are probably very subtle). I would likely end up just paying and if i did that continually with apps that i was slighted interested in 99 cent would start to add up FAST for me.

Also thus far with all the browsers I have yet to be really impressed. So I would need it to have some features to directly put it ahead of the other options. I love dolphin but honestly i still go back and forth on whether i like the stock browser better. The file manager is attractive but I already have 2 good ones, it would at least have to be on par with those.

Basically I try to minimize app redundancy. So the bottom line is I need to be convinced to even TRY another web browsing app. The slightest deterrent to try will prevent me from downloading in regards to browsers. Especially if they dont have any significant distinguishing factors from the others in the pack. 99 cents is just enough on top of the opportunity costs (especially valuable time I should be devoting to work and my research lmao) to make me pass for now (or at very least hold off a little on trial). I need to be convinved that this thing is even worth my time let alone my 99 cents that could be a value fry or chicken nuggets (I'm a full time graduate student so every 99 cents counts lol ).

Flame retarding disclaimer: any convincing I'd expect would be from the developers not any of our great members obviously

lol.... Thanks for putting this app on my radar

Ok. I guess 24 hours is plenty time for me. If I cant find something I dont like about it in 24 hours then I deserve to pay. Damn, I accidentally threw a dollar away in the trash when cleaning out my pockets. Now I cant pay my rent, LIFE IS OVER!!!

just gonna say its only 99cents and if you dont like it did you really waste any money i mean a dollar is nothing compared to what some of these apps charge and dont do half as much. but your choice dont need to justify i just wanted to let people know the best browser for the moto droid is now working on our 1.5 heros.
