Minimo Screenshots Abound
"Rafael Ebron has posted a couple of photos of devices running the Windows CE version of Minimo. One photo shows Minimo on the Orange SPV E200, which runs Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone, while the other shows the browser on the i-mate JAM, which runs the slightly overnamed Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC Second Edition, Phone Edition. More details about the Windows CE version of Minimo were posted last month."
MozillaZine have just alerted their readers to a set of Minimo screenshots which you can find here. It looks great! Those actually interested in testing out Minimo can read more here.

I am using minimo right now on my Imate Jam to post this message. Does a great job of rendering pages to fit on the pocket pc screen. Its obviously only a start, no bookmarks or other plugins, but its a great start!!

It's as fast as my Firefox loading webpages over Activesync pass thru 8O (PIE is slow as hell)

When the first build was released, I found it to be very slow when stored on a storage card. Hopefully, by the time it is formally released to the public (i.e. out of beta), it'll be more optimised.

Does it then also store its cache on the SD card (it isn't configurable), just like NetFront? Then, no wonder it's so darn slow at writing to the cache (see for example http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...ic.php?t=36376 for more info on PIE's and NetFront's cache speed when located at a storage card.)

Actually, IIRC, it's in a Minimo folder in the Windows directory, although I can't check now since I hard-resetted my Pocket PC recently and haven't loaded half my programs yet.
Nevertheless, it's still early days. I'm sure more optimisations will come with time, and the taskbar will move to the top as well.

Why not Opera??
hey all,
Just for all you Smartphone users - if you think Minimo is good, have a look at Opera. Opera Mobile has been available for Smartphone for months and with it's Small Screen Rendering it displays webpages amazingly! It's also in a kind of beta, "Public Technical Preview". But I've been running it fine for months and to be honest it looks even better than Minimo. It certainly makes browsing over GPRS doable.
