It is slow but for sites like www.techbargains.com, at least I can see the whole page and zoom to what I want. PIE is horrible with this site. On the flip side, PIE friendly sites like the mobile version of SPT do much better with IE. I'll probably use both depending on the site I go to.

OK so it sounds like I'm not missing too much.

The guy on the right in the video... Did Luke Skywalker not wear that jacket in the original Star Wars trilogy? :wink: :lol:

Default How?

It's a cool looking interface, but I can't read the pages without doing the old PIE sideways scroll.
I'm not sure I'd call that progress.

i havent had a chance to take some screenshots today as i have been swamped, with a capital "S". Scrolling is pretty slow in this app, im a little disappointed they did not implement page up and page down features via the 2 and 8 keys as IE has.

besides the slow scrolling, i love this new browser though i will continue to use PIE for the mobile version of SPT as it is just faster. this isn't microsoft's fault though or a design flaw. this is just jason's fault for making SPT easy to view from mobile devices

I just got invited in. This thing is pretty cool actually. I have on my Treo though. I'll try to get it for the Blackjack.

Got the invite today, it works great!

Tip on the Dash, "Z" zooms in and "A" zooms out.

The E61, and the US version, the E62 as well. I got to try out the latter. Frankly, while it seems like a really cool idea, it becomes tiresome rather quickly. I'd love to see it as one rendering option on a browser, but some kind of fit-to-screen mode is much better for average use.
