Weird. Most sites load ok, but unlike Beta 2, I can't load
http://jquery.com
. Likewise, I can't type anything into the text box on Google. I understand that I can type into the main app text bar and click the Google button, but the UX in that decision is quite frustrating. (I forget if this is how it worked in Beta 2.) Pages are loading quick enough for me compared with other tablet browsers, though.
Installing the URL Fixer plugin was flawless -- pretty cool, too.
Zooming in and navigating pages works pretty good -- although, it is slower than page loads (which is weird). This will have to be sped up (a lot) if they want it to be usable. Clicking small hyperlinks is nearly impossible without zooming in.
Javascript in general is pretty darn slow (try doing some of the demos at
http://mootools.net
). My Weblog crashed the browser, although it did load when it was the first site I went to after launch.
Html rendering seems to be pretty good, but not in all cases.
Overall, the new Beta seems to have polished some edges, but it still needs work. (In fact, some of my notes above are because it feels like there have been a few steps back between the last version and this one.)
