Torch Mobile's Iris Browser - S740, S743 General

Hey all,
Anyone other than myself tried Torch Mobile's Iris Browser on the Rose?
The current release is version 1.1.2. And according to their blog features:
- Flash Lite ActiveX control
- big performance gains
- reduced memory usage
- preliminary RSS
- preliminary SVG support
- the highest Acid3 score of any shipping mobile browser
- HTC accelerometer support (The rose doesn't have one I believe).
I've installed it and it doesn't work too badly. Much more stabler than the previous versions of it I've installed.
I've found with a SmartPhone OS (aka Windows Mobile Standard) enabling the Mouse Cursor option makes things much easier (Page Menu > Options > Mouse Cursor).
Being a Web Kit based browser it'll also render pretty close to what gets rendered on an iPhone. Which is good because there's so many darn sites out there these days designed to be rendered by the iPhone browser.
Here's my settings (under Page menu):
Zoom: Fit Content Width
View: Mobile Mode
Options: [x] Mouse Cursor.

Oh, and here's the Acid 3 test result.
It scored 100/100.

There's another new version released, v 1.1.3.

What are the new/improved features in WM2003 SE?
Landscape mode.
All the rest is just for micro$oft to brag about their operating system :wink:
Kidding, it´s the following:
- VGA and QVGA that support high-resolution displays,
and a new landscape view.
The following modes are supported.
# Portrait / Landscape QVGA (240x320, 96 dpi)
# Portrait / Landscape VGA (480x640, 192 dpi)
# Square screen (240x240, 96 dpi)
# Square screen VGA (480x480, 192 dpi)
Not all devices will support switching between modes, i.e. landscape-only, portrait-only or square-only devices are possible.
- Phone Edition improvements.
Previously, you were unable to compose a number directly from the Today screen, now with this update, it will be possible. It will now also be possible to send a Short Message Service (SMS) directly from your contacts list. Lastly, there have also been some improvements on Voice Recognition features.
- Other Enhancements
Transcriber will gain the ability to use shortcuts. These will let users write a short code phrase that will be replaced with a much longer piece of commonly used text. Shortcuts can also be used to launch applications.
Much like Windows XP does, the Start Menu will now show the most frequently launched application icons. There is a new section in the Start Menu which will display the most frequently used applications. This is divided from the list of applications that appear because they are stored in the Start folder.
The second edition will also get WPA (WiFi Protected Access), which was developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in an attempt to make wireless networks more secure.
The new version of Pocket Internet Explorer will also be able to force web pages into a single column, similar to the way NetFront 3.1 and Opera does. This will make reading web sites not formatted for handhelds easier.
That is what i got from reviews and news.
Ive seen other changes to, as a nice improved loading Icon that runs much smoother than the original one. (Maybe to create the illusion of something actually loadin :wink: )

SmartPhone Game Emulator For SmartPhone

I was looking for Emulator(GameBoy/GameBoy Color/Gameboy Advance) for Smartphone and i found a lot of others that does not work or there is no option for me to change the resolution because it is too small.
Finally i found a post from modaco that work on my cingular 3125 wm5/wm6/wm6.1
I believe it also work on older OS like wm2003
Hi everybody,
I've been hunting on the net for good console emulators for the smartphone and came across PicoDrive and PocketSNES. Unfortunately neither of these emulators worked properly on my C550. So I decided to try and fix it so I could play my favourite games on my phone.
The biggest change is probably getting it to work at QVGA resolution, which was a definite improvement to the postage stamp size window. After much tinkering, I think I've reached a milestone and am happy to share it with the rest of the community.
Disclaimer: These programs have been tested on my C550. I hold no responsibility for any damage caused by running them on your own devices.

The best emulator I've seen is SmartGear. It has support for NES, GBC, GameGear, Genesis and a couple others I think. It's going to have SNES support really soon apparently too.
The only problem is it's not free, but it works so well and with unlimited free upgrades, I think it's worth it.
bitbanksoftware.com (there's a dev discussion at modaco)
Wicked. Just what i needed. Thanks for posting this (..and thanks to Parallax for the changes!)
What are game emulators? The name implies a peice of software which enables running various formatted console games. Or is it a console game that has be rendered to play on a multitude of devices. In which case, a more appropriate name would be game emulation.
is this worked for 6.1 pro erofich ?
The PicoDrive is an interesting app.
But isn't it possible to load ROMs from a SD card?
I can't select the card in the menu and with my 64 MB ROM there's enough memory for just 1 ROM.
are there any GB/GBC/GBA emulators for HTC diamond? i tried "PocketGnuboy_QVGA_08_01_06.zip" and i was able to config the keyboard for directional keys and game keys but every time i tap the screen (to launch keyboard), it always pause so i cannot play it anyway.
any other alternatives or solutions please....
i appreciate it thanks...
hahaha... i just found a keygen for smart gear...it's funny coz the keys are dependent to owner ID.

Great idea! Can't wait to test this

wow.. nice work will post impressions on it soon

works on VGA will post a short video soon
Yup works great! Thanks!
Awesome works on VGA can't wait for the rating to be there..
Nice! Going to try it out now
Excellent app.just what have been needing.works great on my kaiser qvga.
thank you.
regards
lohtse
Cool app.
I can't wait to see it with more information displayed within the app though. Like which actors played which characters and the trivia and goofs and that such.
Keep up the good work.
awsome!
dude,
Great job..its quite simple and fast !
i was looking for something smiler, coz no app as my knowledge does that in our lovely WM, I have the reader with IMDB data base, but for the new movies what shall we do !!!
anyway, I think if will add more info, i mean every thing should be shown in the app it self will be more than perfect, and also i think the most info is this :
1-User Rating
2-Plot
3-Genre
4-Actors
But, dude, thanks again and may god bless you
see you in next version bro!
Great App. Thanks.
Ya think Steve Jobs will try to restrict use of iPhone API's?
I applaud you for releasing the source code. Have you considered creating a Google Code project for this?
Blade0rz, many thanks for this really nice application to tap into IMDB's vast resources. Like shabek, I look forward to additional info especially Ratings, Plot/Sypnosis and Ratings. One comment is that I noticed the image aspect ration is distorted. WOuld be great if we can have the correct image aspect ration for posters and actors. Thanks again and I will be tracking this daily
app runs good on my omnia i910. it would be great to have a synopsis of movie and ability to select the actor and have their info come up. also, i cannot go back once i pull up a movie. i have to close the app and reopen it again and perform another search.
this is a great idea and thanks for contributing it. i look forward to future releases
Nice app, it works on my Rhodium WVGA, but has some problems installing.
When installed (I can't choose to put it on my phone or external memory), I can't find it in the thumbnails. To open the program, I have to search it in my Explorer (my machine / Program Files / IMDB Mobile).
It also has some minor problems with the landscape; I can type, but it doesn't respond on the 'enter' command and the pictures are stretched to halfway my screen. The text doesn't go to fullscreen either, only to halfway.
The landscape thing is not a biggy (especially since it's the first beta and you cracked the iPhone program), but am I the only one who's having the installing problem?
But besides this, a great app! It's the #1 app I've been searching for lately and I'm very thankful that you've been putting effort in making it!
[edit]
I've noticed where the installing problem is. When you instal the app, it sends the shortcut to the folder "Windows / Start Menu". Maybe it's because I've got the official Dutch 6.5 ROM, but my programs are in "Windows / Startmenu".
Thanks Mate , very Nice , works like a charm
At the moment,its more of a proof of concept more than anything. I have implemented Plot, Tagline, Directors, Writers, Rating so far from the movie details.
The API also contains data for Quotes, Cast, Trivia, etc so all of those will eventually be implemented.
The app isnt a port of the iPhone one, it just uses the same data. Any interface issues are my fault
Hopefully should have a fully functional beta by the end of the week
can't wait buddy!

Just my own opinion but UC sucks. I mean it copied off of MIREN and Opera and the only better thing about it is that it can read XML pages in WAP.

What do you like about ICS?

Post here about what improvement did you find in ICS and what do you like about it..
The swipe to clear notifications and the auto spelling correction.

Panoramic camera is pretty awesome. Like the music settings, more control. Some nice dev features
Changing the right click is real nice too. Also, the google voice input is pretty accurate.
the smoothness and responsiveness improvements

Did anyone find improvements with the WIFI?
everything so far. still figuring and finding out the new features. is there any kind of documentation that lists or explains all the new features that comes with ICS?
Has anyone been able to find the camera unlock feature? I don't think Asus included it in our build. :-(
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
If you are referring to the camera shortcut on the lockscreen... you just slide left.
I'm digging the new font, Roboto. Looks great and it's used in more places than I knew. Really freshens things up.
To go along with the swipe-to-close notifications, there's not the X to close all notifications at once. That's welcome.
The new Settings panel is much more nicely organized.
The stock browser seems to perform much better, and I like the option to enable desktop mode per site rather than overall. That way I can go with a mobile site where it makes sense but quickly select desktop mode when desired.
Seem to be lots of little (and big) changes like that. I'll be doing a factory reset just to make sure nothing's gumming up the works.

http://www.android.com/about/ice-cream-sandwich/
1) General speed of the tablet, night and day compared to HC 2) Wifi better range and speeds on speedtest.net app, actually better range than my Bionic now. 3) Swipe Gestures. 4) Camera updates, crazy good zoom and overall much improved.
Those are the first major differences I saw. Others feel free to post your own observations.
I like nothing. This update didn't fix my WiFi/Bluetooth issue(s) so this device and the dock are going back in the box to be returned to amazon tomorrow. Unless someone on backorder desires to buy it from me for the full price I paid on Amazon .

If you do a little digging through the threads while the max output has changed to 1.6 it isn't scaling any higher than before. So the potential is there but it isn't enabled.
