You're right, something seems wrong there. He double-tapped on a full-width banner and it zoomed to the lower right column. What? I wonder if that's just some default behavior. If so, maybe the user can customize the default zooming behavior on a site-by-site basis. Mobile browser plugins are definitely one of the my future battle fronts.

checking the page used as a demonstration, its a mess of div and span, css code and also the part we see is already somewhat zoomed in, as there is a large border around the main page content...

could be that the zoom code got confused about where one section of the page ends and another begins...

It can happen, but usually it gets it right. Especially when tapping on text columns (which is the typical use case).

Yeah, the microb zooming could still be a work in progress, but the renderer made good decisions where to put the pixels, so a tap should know what section it's in.

I just went there with my iPod touch and everything zoomed as expected.

heh, one last guess could be that the screen went a bit wild about where the pointer was, hard to tell with there being no onscreen indicator...

I forgot about that pointer mode. Man, Nokia is blazing some funky trails in mobile browser land.

I agree that the SDK doesn't look very good.

I hope that they release a nicer-looking SDK now that the N900 has been released.

http://shop.nokia.co.uk/nokia-uk/sea...x?keyword=n900

It's listed now, at £499.00. Also at supetrader.co.uk for £399.99 - no idea if they'll honour that price, but I pre-ordered an N810 from them a couple of years ago and had no problems apart from the general slowness in fulfilling demand (which every shop had at the time).

Noticed that this was advertising only dual band UTMS:

Network:
■ GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 (Quad-Band)
■ WCDMA: 900/2100 (Dual-Band)

Wouldn't work on tmobile 3g if those figures are accurate. Any guesses as to whether this is a typo or a feature of UK N900s?
