I saw the following press release in the web today but just could not find the download site. May be you guys have better luck than me. If you do, please let me know.

A 14 day trial is now available. It's $20 to buy it.

Installing it now- wil let you know what its like - I will test it on the way to work.

Well, had some chance to test it- seems to work nicely. Keeps a track of visited sites, can save bookmarks and pages.
Can view as 'normal' page or in their new 'small screen rendering' system that produces a narrow but very long page to fit it all in.
Plus with frames you can decide which frame to load at any one time.
Supports css and javascript too.

Only tested with normal GSM data connection which means its very slow with pictures. Much better when you switch off pictures.

Best mobile phone web browser yet by far.
Size as reported in installation manager once installed is 874k

Hmm - says not enough mem (2630) on mine - and that's straight after a re-boot with nothing else loaded!

Bugger!

Must be the 1.34 os uses more mem.
