Dorothy Browser Beta

Dorothy. Quite an interesting name for a web browser, don’t you think? Well, it is the latest of several web-kit based mobile web browsers for Windows Mobile and it’s recently been released for beta testing. Since Dorothy is fairly early in development, it’s not packed with too many features. It currently logs history, saves bookmarks, has zooming and support for landscape mode. You can grab it by signing up for the beta on their site.

Iris Browser 1.1.9

Torch Mobile has released an important update for their popular browser, Iris. Now that it has reached version 1.1.9, we are seeing many enhancements and features. Some may be sad to see such features like the “ripple effect” go, but others will be happy to see fixes for flash and the implementation of a media player plugin. It is important noting that the new multimedia features are still rather early in development, but nevertheless, they still work. View the recent changelog below.

Changes:

- Improved canvas support – curves, transparency fixes, and more
- Application cache support
- Some networking and javascript fixes
- Flash reliability fixes
- The link click animation has been removed, by popular request
- A security fix in SVG support
- Preliminary RTSP support and a Windows Media plugin. Also the beginning of HTML5 audio/video support (more to come here)
- Fixes for various iPhone sites, including Google calendar and reader
