Great things of 2009 No. 7 – Better browsers

December 31, 2009 | By Surur

Talking about those large, high resolution screens, the next major development of 2009 was the arrival of extremely competitive web browsers. While in 2008 we counted ourselves extremely blessed to have Opera Mini, by 2009 we were inundated by a plethora of great browsers, including what many see as the king of Windows Mobile browsers, Skyfire, which made no website off limits to a Windows Mobile user.

While at this point many of us probably take it for granted that we can have rapid website rendering on a smartphone, we, more than any other mobile platform, are in fact exceptionally lucky. Next year we expect further improvements in IE Mobile, and of course a real heavyweight contender in the release of Fennec for Windows Mobile.

Do our readers appreciate the browser wealth on Windows Mobile? Let us know below.

All the browsers are still not smooth in scrolling or zooming, even with HD2. I wish they could make it buttery smooth like on the iphone. And I hope hardware accelerated flash comes.

unfortunately i haven't really used any browsers due to my wifi router breaking last year and being stuck with GPRS at home.
