How are you finding it? I particularly like the in-browser camera support of Opera Mobile and the infinite Speed Dial. :3
I am on a Windows Phone now, so can’t really test it and will probably never will, unless they bring it to WP platform.
However, minus the tabs interface and a lack of few features, I do enjoy IE9 Mobile (with Desktop referrer) a lot, it’s really smooth and with 0 compatibility issues :)
I never used to like IE much before, but after IE9 was announced I got excited. IE9 brought a lot to the table and although it’s getting behind now (since other browsers are improving) IE10 is looking really good. In fact there’s some standards support in it not seen in other browsers.
The beta will have a lot going for it. I, for one, will try it, beat it up with benchmarks and maybe I might enjoy it.
I was positively surprised by the IE mobile as previous versions were pretty horrible.
Well, at least Windows 8 preview is coming today so some can play with the IE10
Does “play” mean test? I’d love some benchmarks of IE10 PP5 up here on FavBrowser. ;)
It does :)
I’d love to test it as well, wish they would unlock it on Windows 7
Good on you. You seem to test the merits with something and stick with it besides arguing.
MS has everything right with WP7. Their browser shouldn’t be any different.
