Darn! Just when an app gets really interesting, they turn it into WM5+ only! I got disappointed with Deepfish yesterday, now Minimo has just given me another low blow.


Well, so far, the WM2003(SE) version was pretty much incompatible with most (all?) models I've tested it on (high CPU usage; very bad responsivity), in addition to about half of the WM5 / WM6 models (for example, the HTC UNiversal). That is, I don't necessarily think dropping WM2003(SE) support is that bad a thing - they just dropped support for a platform that has never been really supported.

the biggest weakness of most WM browsers (pace Steve Jobs) is the lack of full support for the latest web technologies (ok, ok, layout matters too). It sounds like the mobile browser of our dreams is almost here!
In addition to Minimo, Opera Mobile has excellent support for even new technologies. So does - to a lesser degree - the forthcoming (and also WM5-only) NetFront 3.4. Opera Mobile's, for example, AJAX, CSS and CSS2 support is just great.

I'll publish a greatly upgraded version of my well-known WM Web Browsing Bible in a few days; in there, I also elaborate on these questions (along with Minimo 0.2 and Deepfish, of course).
