SurfCube Browser Windows Phone

Mind you tabbed browsing is only one of the feature in this feature packed browser. Surf Cube in essence is IE9 Mobile but with some added features that gives users a much richer user experience on their mobile phone. The app has been updated to Mango and I have had the pleasure of trying out the beta before it went public. There are a lot of features to write about and we might not be able to cover each and every one of them but some of the stand out ones are as mentioned below :

IE9 on Windows Phone 7 decimates the competition

Saijo George — Tue, 24 May 2011 08:49:13 +0000

ie9-mango

So IE9 is going to be apart of Mango, it would appear I was under the wrong impression and some of you guys got it right. According to techradar IE9 for Windows Phone is code complete and is now undergoing performance tuning.

We have see that Hardware accelerated browsing ( video, audio, text, etc) is a huge plus for IE9 and Microsoft happily showed this off by putting tit to the test against other browsers, like how they did on the desktop version, ( refresh your memory ;) ) and it would appear the performance has been improved from the last time we saw it.

Initially when we saw hardware acceleration in IE9 mobile , it was getting 23 frames per second in Microsoft’s ‘speed reading’ demo (compared to 11fps on Android and 2 on iPhone)… Microsoft now claims to have achieved 27fps.!!!

Phone browser comes of age – SurfCube

bishnoo — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 21:23:54 +0000

SurfCube

Bored of your phone browser? Well heres something fun to try even if you aren’t ;). The SurfCube browser thats hit the WP7 market is a 3D interface unlike anything you have seen before. It uses cool graphics to emulate a 3D visual style with a cube effect (Sort of makes the name quite unimaginative!!). The interface features a central webpage viewer that shows up the content. The URL bar and favorites list form the top portion of the screen. The bottom tab view still isnt out of development yet. The history and settings form the left and right of the screen.

Uzard Browser with full Flash support

Uzard-Support flash

One of our reader Arturo recently came across a great new browser for Windows Mobile and he tipped us about this new mobile browser. Its called Uzard and looks like it supports all major resolutions. Apparently the browser has got great flash support and plays flash 10 videos in full screen and even supports tabbed browsing. According to some xda-dev users, the experience is quite nice some videos may be a bit choppy. One nice perk is that it supports HULU so it should have some sort of server side rendering and then the data is passed on to your device. I don’t expect the ability to watch HULU to last long.
