Re: What happens to MicroB when MeeGo arrives
I'm a heavy web surfer on my N900. At least couple of hours a day is spent on it visiting dozens of web sites and writing and editing blog / forum posts. Other browsers just do not compare to MicroB right now imo. (I have tried latest daily build of fennec, Opera mobile etc) MicroB still wins imo.
- I use greasemonkey to ensure some websites are not shrunk-fit into 800pixels wide. (such as TMO) http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...t=greasemonkey - Virtual mouse pointer controllable by finger is a god-send. Ability to simply select exactly what I want just like a mouse by holding shift to highlight text etc, hover on top of web objects and see context popups or navigate menus etc. WHat other browser can do this? (Opera does it via keyboard arrows but it's just not the same) - Zoom via volume rocker is also a god send. I prefer this to any other method of zooming by other phones / browsers. - Having multiple windows open and switch between them super quick va Shortcutd. (camera half-press) (tab browsing would be cool too but there's just not enough screen space for it really) To me, MicroB + N9000 gives the closest thing to a desktop browsing experience on ANY mobile phone. |

Re: What happens to MicroB when MeeGo arrives
Does anyone know what happened to the plan to use Webkit as the layout engine of choice for Meego devices? All netbooks and tablets running meego are running Chromium, I base this only on screenshots and videos seen. But now, at least on the handset side it seems that Fennec will be used.
Even for Symbian^3 they chose to use Webkit instead of Gecko. My understanding is that webkit is supposed to use less RAM. Don't get me wrong, I think microB is great and I'm sure if Nokia decides to integrate fennec as part of Meego they will optimise it to work as fluidly as microB. But it just makes me wonder, with plans to bring both Meego and Symbian closer together, why use a different layout engines. |

also I am shocked at how some people say that n900 almost fully replaces laptop/desktop. For me, it's much harder to browse websites on smaller screen. I only surf on it when I am in bed and too lazy to get up and use my laptop. |

What happened to Chromium? It was the best backup browser for a while.
