TouchBrowser lets you control everything using only your fingers. You can type using the large keyboard, glide through web content and scroll through pages with a flick, with full page view. 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&quot;</em></p><br /><p>Lord knows that the conversations between the Windows Mobile team and Windows Mobile MVPs at the Summit this year were full of talk about Pocket IE. If you're unsure what we were saying - take a look at alternate products like this one. Possibly IE will be better in the future, however if you're a heavy internet user, products like this one may be worth the small license cost now! Trial doesn't look like it's out there, but they do have a YouTube demo video.</p>

I purchased this and I am sorry that I did. First, it's not a new browser, just a shell that uses the PIE engine. Second, it's slow as molasses on a Touch Cruise and is buggy. I am not even able to set my own home page even though the settings are saved with the URL I enter. The browser always opens to MSN.

Plus, I wasn't even able to scroll all the way down the mobile version of PPCTs when the site worked just fine in regular PIE.

Overall, this is a poor product that should have been released as a beta.

HA! Good to know.. I was wondering how this thing worked.. There is no information about it anywhere. :)
This means that it will work like crap on my TyTN II because of the PIE lag problems.. I'll stay with Opera Mobile.. At least until Firefox mobile shows up. :)

No demo, no money from me.

Sorry you got hosed, jngold_me, but I appreciate you reporting back here as I was about to make an execption to the rule. Glad I didn't.
