TouchBrowser brings touch-capability to Pocket Internet Explorer April 14, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. The TouchBrowser program released today by Makayama is a wrapper around Pocket Internet Explorer (a browser built-in into each Windows Mobile device), that introduces finger scrolling of web pages - users can move around pages by touching pages anywhere - without the need to use stylus and scroll bars. Unfortunately several incompetent news sources are reporting that this program is a browser, what is completely wrong. We have tested this program extensivley and we tell how it is: this program doesn't have any new rendering engine but is re-using Pocket Internet Explorer. Nonetheless it may be an interesting extension for users of Windows Mobile phones with touch-screen! Here is the video demonstration of this program: ... and here is more information: Tired of Pocket Internet Explorer? Forget about the stylus, the tiny scrollbars and the keyhole view of the internet. TouchBrowser gives you the smooth webbrowsing experience of the iPhone, right on your Pocket PC. It lets you scroll pages with animation and iPhone inertia effects for easy reading. You can use you finger to move the webpage around the screen, something Internet Explorer can't do. Websites designed for mobile use can be watched in 'mobile view' and full pages in 'desktop view'. A built-in navigation aid tells you what section of a page you're reading, so you never get lost.
