Default Webby: A Free, Tabbed Browser

http://www.users.tpg.com.au/lordf/a...lidea/webby.htm

"Webby provides a powerful desktop-style browsing experience on the Pocket PC platform. Besides tabbed browsing Webby automatically provides the ability to scale web pages using the two top microbrowsers, Skweezer.net and Google Mobile."



If you're a fan of Skweezer and Google Mobile, this simple but powerful freeware application integrates these services into their interface, while giving you tabs for handling multiple web pages simultaneously. It uses .NET Compact Framework 2.0, is fully configurable, and takes up less than 90k on your device. Aren't the simple answers usually the best ones? :idea:

Very nice little application. This is what I want/need, works great. Thanks for the heads up. Also, you don't have to use skweezer or google mobile, which I don't.

Default No WM5

Too bad the specs do not include WM5 as an operating system.

Is this a stand alone browser or does it just sit on top of the PIE interface?

Yeah, but isn't .NET CF 2.0 about 5mb in size?

I can't seem to find device requirements, but I doubt it's that big. Might as well install it as it -- it has a lot of enhancements over 1.X and I bet we'll see more and more apps requiring it.

I do not recommend this application. To find out why, please read the full review here at the Pocket PC Thoughts forums.

It sits atop of the PIE browser like a shell. Please read the above-linked review.

Unfortunately, you will need to (internally) - it's the only way to use the One Column view mode.

It's compatible with WM5. I've even run benchmark tests on two different WM5 devices.
