Follow that Browser and Step on it! http://www.peterstagg.com/2011/04/taxi-follow-that-browser-and-step-on-it-10/ http://www.peterstagg.com/2011/04/taxi-follow-that-browser-and-step-on-it-10/#comments Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:31:38 +0000 pstagg http://www.peterstagg.com/2011/04/taxi-follow-that-browser-and-step-on-it-10/ Most browser applications for iPhone, iPad and the touch are just wrappers for the built-in browser engine (Safari) with a few, often lame, pony tricks. When Opera for the iPhone was released I, along with millions of others – it went straight to the top ten list, downloaded it expecting great things only to be very disappointed. So I’m very weary of new iBrowsers and certainly won’t pay for one usually.

Well having read a piece on the new iCab iPad browser in the latest Australian MacWorld I was straight on to the AppStore doing the iOneClick of debt and soon replacing the blue compass with black and yellow checks.

I’ve no idea, at the moment, if iCab is a wrapper or not but it’s certainly no one trick pony either. It took me about half an hour on the train the other day to go through it’s system and in-app settings (if you buy it make sure you do this otherwise all the features will not be apparent). No wonder just take a look at these screen shots.
