Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

Look i know skyfire has an update out as of two or three days ago. But iris does to and this version is way better than its predecessors. Its plays flash videos as does skyfire and has tabbed browsing done pretty well(meaning u control when tabs are opened and viewing your tabbed pages is done cover flow style!) its pretty fast and opening and closing it is fast as well. Try it out!!!

i sent them a email a while ago and they said that they will add real full screen mode and a new interface for 1.2 build release, but they have no date for that release so im waiting for that one. besides that, its prolly one of the best browsers out there for WM. Gotta love webkit :headbang:

PS. its .2 builds away woohoo!!

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

I agree that exactly why im trying to spread the word. I like skyfire but its unreliable sometimes and laggy too.

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

i hate how it looks on VGA so its whatever for me... plus im not a big fan of skyfire...

Opera is prolly the best one out now but, if i can stomach the ugliness of the interface and controls of iris i like it better than opera lol im dying to see what the new look will be... thats what it needs to be basically perfect!! (oh and zoom controls too)

this has had flash support for a while now FYI....

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

it supports flash lite 3.1 just fine and way better than opera might i add. i see youtube just fine in iris but it only supports up to flash 8

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

Blame that one on Adobe for not providing Windows Mobile a decent flash player, skyfire can do it as they can render it server side.

But, Flash 10 for WM is supposed to come out later this year which will support what you are talking about.

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

are you saying that iris is better than opera with flash 3.1? that may be true but in most other aspects, Opera is better than iris hands down. Iris is slower in most cases and still has crash issues on the diamond. the rendering is good but who has time to sit and wait for it to complete. as for youtube, why not just use the built-in youtube apps that work much better anyway than through a mobile browser? just my opinion of course but I have been following iris forever and keep getting dissappointed.

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

I agree completely ... Iris continues to disappoint, even though the developers have made some progress. It still confounds me, why a decent mobile browser still eludes us. The new Skyfire is a little better ... the new beta of Opera Mobile is a little better ... but if we're entirely honest ... none of them are very good. So for now, I just continue with Opera Mini for the quick and dirty day to day stuff, and haul out Skyfire when I need video. In light of Safari and Palm's new Web OS, it just doesn't seem like we should be lagging so far behind.

Iris does have one big advantage over other browsers for WinMo, if you visit MLB.com with any regularity. Apparently, since it's from Torch which developed Safari, it gets better treatment by MLB.com than browsers that identify themselves as non-Torch. Comparison pics here:

That is what I do also, I love OperaMini. I hate Skyfire & only break it out when nothing else works..........

For YouTube, I use the dedicated YT app which works fantastic for me.

I like Iris but typing in a web address and hitting "Go" is almost impossible without the stylus.

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

iris definitely has potential, but right now, like most of you, i use opera mini for general web browsing, and if i NEED to see a video, i pull out skyfire, lol

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

have they fixed the fullscreen mode yet?
going fullscreen, then pressing the menu button or bottom buttons exits fullscreen everytime. i hated it.

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

Nope. Top bar comes back with next action, bottom bar never goes away.:(

But they have finally included 'Open in New Tab' via tap and hold on link.:)

Re: Iris Mobile Browser v1.1.8 is out!!!
 

now that's just discrimination. :D:D:D

I use regular opera, but otherwise the same as inertone.
