Dorothy wants to give Iris the shove – New webkit browser for Windows Mobile
Dorothy is a new webkit-based browser (like the ones on the iPhone, Google Chrome , Palm Pre and the Iris browser on Windows Mobile) created by Company100, which promises page rendering times up to 3 times faster than Opera Mobile.
The application is designed for high end devices, with at least WVGA screens and 400+ Mhz processors and is currently in closed beta. According to FuzeMobility, which has a copy, the rendering is relatively good, but the browser still needs some polish, for example kinetic scrolling does not yet work.
To sign up for the beta visit the company’s website here.

That UI is brilliant. Looks to be a promising browser.

Just downloaded the beta. Very impressed, it is now my default browser. It would be nice to see flash on it and improved scrolling but so far I am very impressed. It has already given Iris the shove and it is still in early beta. The UI is nice however seems a clone from the fennec browser.

Maybe it is doing server side rendering to get its speed advantage?

I tried it on omnia but it seemed to be too squished up is there a way to make the icons a little smaller. Speed wise it seems faster.
