- individual style
- 100% fullscreen
- run under locked screen

while 1.1 is going to arrive in marketplace soon, I'm already working on 1.2 which will include:
A more IE-like,stunning mainpage
A more responsive UI (input-feedback)

Everybody who couldn't install yet, try this:

1. copy the zune-link i sent you.
2. write a mail to yourself.
3. open it on your phone.


for the 12 folks that are already in i sent a mail to their live-inbox.
hope that solves the installation issue.

Installing got no problem.Try google you tube it's quite fast and manage toplay video without any problem.The only thing I must get used to the tab.Well so far there's not any bug yet .
When I make a new tab it seems I can't search when I type xda developers it says ERROR Invalid url.I think every tab that we make if possible make to the home page.

Search isn't implemented yet, will be in soon.
The home-page can be set in settings-> general-> new tab

thanks for fast feedback

BETA tester

My response from BETA-testing. (Note: Even if you have posted some bugs I'll still fill my list with what I experience)
Phone: LG Optimus 7
Status: Works perfectly!
My current status: Stopped BETA testing.


Positive:
  • 100% fullscreen
  • Customization!
  • Live tile with information about current session!! :)
  • Slide up the URL tab on fullscreen to get to normal view without fullscreen.
  • Fast web browser
  • Share page function (lovely!!)
  • It's now my official MAIN browser! :D
  • -
  • -


Things to maybe improve & suggestions:
  • First startpage is google.de, could have been google.com (but nothing special actually)
  • Maybe you could make your own videoplayer to play eg. youtube videos on, instead of using the phone's player (not required since the videoplayer of the phone is also good)
  • Also have the abillity to press the favorites url instead of only the visit button at the bottom. But keep it.
  • Maybe slide with 2 or 3 fingers down on the screen for entering/exiting fullscreen mode? :)
  • -
  • -

Negative and or Currently found bugs:
  • When entering fullscreen mode, it's hard to get back to regular. I had to tap like 5 times on the black button at the bottom left. (hard to use the button)
  • If the application opens without internet connection it will say ERROR, no network available. But it does say it when I change to other menus such as settings (keep spamming ERROR everywhere)
  • Theres no suggestion of websites when entering a url for eg. if you enter www.fa it could show up some suggestions like facebook or failblog.
  • -


I'll edit this post with more when I find :)

I have given my review here and video review here.

Overall I found the app to be very nice and smooth. A good alternative for sure but there are few things you can look into except the bugs which is already reported.

1) One is integration with skydrive for syncing bookmarks etc.
2) More Gestures
3 ) Open up option for both Google and Bing as search engine.
4 ) cookie turn on and off.

Rest is all good, keep us rolled in beta.

I would like a "Search for text" function in the functions menu :) Would be awesome to be able to search for words on a page :)
And else I can say that I'm really happy with the browser, works well, and hopefully soon releasing? Because then you could like update with small minor updates incase something is needed :)

Happy New Year roqstr! :)

there's a search for text function ;O it's just not my own at the moment, a provisional solution,if you will :p
Yea, but i always find features that shouldn't be missing in the release-version, to make it working right :)

next week i'll be busy with school, shouldn't fail my exams :p
afterwards, i'd be able to release an open beta, just for some extra feedback
next step is fixing last issues and then i'll release ;P

if somebody do have experience with apphub, pubcenter & co, he can pm me to help me understanding ;)

thanks, hope you all enjoyed New Year's Eve, i did ;P

Here is my feedback :

1.Dropdown to switch between search engines
2 Where did Advance Main Colour Gone ?
3. When I try yo change Main Colour Accent Colour it gives me sorry message "You Should not Overwrite the accent style"
4. Find Text Crashes the app
5. You can think of ignoring pics which are of very small size in the Picture view.
6. Picture viewer also picks up YouTube thumbnail as picture but does not display anything.
