Wow - you've really made my day!

This is the first decent alternative to the built-in browser for the N900 I've seen. It's really fast. Seems faster at displaying the previous page too (and, thank god, it's got a proper Back button instead of that fancy shmanzy Visual History that's pointless most of the time).

Love the single-tap zooming and tabs. I also find the virtual keyboard much more usable than the built-in one (for the purpose of entering urls and search terms at least). Also really like the safari 3-style progress indicator in the address bar.

These were just my first impressions after a few minutes playing with it. I'm sure I'll find a pile of bugs afterwards But first impressions is what matters the most. It's so rare to find a piece of software on Maemo that makes you go wow straight away from both the UI and the functionality perspective that you deserve a big praise here.

Really hope that this won't become an abandoned experiment and that you'll keep making this even better.

Edit: just noticed that the virtual keyboard works in portrait mode too! Boy, I'd be happy to pay for this thing if it wasn't free.
