safari in windows mobile released

Yes, now you can enjoy Safari in Windows Mobile, the same browser that iPhone has, here side by side comparison (here: desktop version of CNN website in HTC Touch Diamond and in Apple iPhone 3G):




In reality the truth is a bit different: Torch Mobile company has released a beta version of their Iris for Windows Mobile that uses Webkit rendering engine - an open source project of Apple - the very same that Safari for iPhone is using. You can download it in beta version here:

More information about Iris:

Iris Browserâ„¢ for Windows Mobile 5 & 6 is now available for free download! Simply register with them by providing your name and contact information and download the CAB to your PC or directly to your phone. Then follow along as Torch Mobile makes regular improvements to the browser, adding new features, making it faster, and generally improving the user experience.

Please remember that this is early preview software

Our impressions: it is rendering web pages exactly the same as Safari for iPhone but is slower, what may change after final version will be relesaed.

I've used Iris for a while now on and off and it works just fine. It can't assist as a SkyFire could for media, but for browsing it is pretty clean for something free and still being worked on.

Sorry for posting here but i dont know where exactly to say this....I installed this program and it became my default browser. Now that i deleted it its still my default browser...is there a way to make internet explorer my default again using a registry edit?...Thanks

sooooo slow compared to both opera mini and skyfire.

Yea im going to have to agree...this browser is SLOW AS BALLS. In terms of loading speeds / page clarity I would take Opera Mobile and Skyfire over this browser any day.
