Is that a direct link to the concept version .zip or not?

The link to the cab was posted earlier in this thread... page 4 or 5, somewhere in there.

Ethereal, I realize that it was posted. I wanted verification that it was the concept version.

Who knows with Netfront. We had at least 2 techincal previews for 3.4 which they seemed to not update it, now they just kind of skipped that and released the 3.5 concept version.

And for me, this browser isn't any faster than Opera Mini (on Jbed) IMO. It does load a lot of sites fast and I like that fact that it plays gifs etc. but some site like facebook load a lot faster in Opera Mini. It is a good browser though

I installed NetFront played around with it some. I am not impressed. It looks like they released it half finished. It's clunky and lacks intuitiveness. The company recommends installing to the device for stability so there goes 5 mb! I was able to get some functionality (AJAX , etc...) that IE didn't provide which is nice if I absolutely need it on the go. The iphone scroll is cool along with the birdseye zooming feature, but to be honest I won't be using this very much. After reading this thread, my hopes soared, but fell far short of my expectations.

For now, PIE with PIE+ installed over it is the very best out there in WM5 browsers. It takes time to fully implement PIE+ functionality to the fullest ( it costs money). But after while, I became a power user. So that is my review and recommendation for now.

I have not signed up for the skyfire beta yet. I am still skeptical. I am waiting to hear from users who actually have it installed on their devices, for which I have seen zero posts so far.

Opera looks interesting to. It will be a hard sell to get me away from PIE+

Netfront is the fastest full browser I have seen. Opera mini is not a full browser
