Browser suggestions?

Hello-

Besides PIEPlus and Opera, do any decent PPC browsers exist?

In my opinion the only thing interesting about the iPhone is the browser. I know Microsoft was working on something sort of similar with Deepfish, but it's been many months and still nothing.

It'd be very cool if someone/company would come out with a browser that could handle zooming/panning/etc.

-TM

You may want to run a search, this has been discussed to death...

NetFront, Opera Mini Beta, etc.

suggestions:

multIE
DeepFish
Picsl

those are my suggestions, i cant stand opera, far too slow. MultIE lets you pan in PIE like on the iphone, but its not like zooming and such, you just get to drag the stylus, which i like.

deepfish is terrific, lets you see entire pages perfectly, i really like all that, as all pages look just as they should, then you zoom to find what you want. the problem is you zoom by clicking and stuff, not by gestures, and there are no cookies or ajax or anything so you cant login to anything or whatnot, just good for looking at news or stuff.

Picsl isnt really allowed, but its been extracted from Samsung phones. you can zoom in using finger gestures, slide the page around by dragging, and use it as a file browser and read PDFs and text documents and powerpoints, again with gestures for turning pages and zooming and stuff. renders pages usually perfectly, but not always, but also supports cookies so you can login to pages at least.

Picsl is probably my favorite, i use it primarily as it is the most accessible, then I use PIE for things like mYouTube and Orb, then deepfish for things that dont render well or break picsl, like digg or wikipedia.

hope i helped

my only gripe about pie is the icons and top bottom bars need to be smaller, and fullscreened automatically.
opera wins in that respect...

id like to have more acreage in pie

Re: Browser suggestions?

multiIE http://www.southwaycorp.net/

I use PIE. I read so many posts praising everything else, and honestly, I don't think any browser is a simple and functional as PIE. I browse mostly mobile websites anyway, don't have java on my phone [there goes Opera mini], and really don't like wasting memory if I don't have to [netfront, cya].

I may trie PIEPlus or multiIE though.
