I assume your post is directed at the minority of people who have vga dispays. Since your post would be sort of a silly thing to tell someone with a touch/mogul/verizon 6900/att tilt/moto q/samsung blackjack/tmobile wing or shadow etc etc etc...

No "Better" Browser Out There! ('nough said)

I enjoy it. I was listening to some TOOL and some Pharrel on YOUTUBE. Seems to work well enough. Only gripe I have is that any button I press on my Touch seems to interrupt the application.

I haven't found a web page I could not view or stream. Try this page on Safari, WinMo, Opera Mini/Moble,....what ever"www.watch-movies.net". I'm watching movies that are in the theater right now for free. 🙂

It works....

I just downloaded it for my HTC Dash with windows mobile 6.1. It has a lot of cool features but it's a bit annoying trying to go back and it has a tendency to lag or do things i didn't tell it to do. all in all i give it a 8/10.
