Posted by Darius Wey in "SOFTWARE" @ 11:00 AM
"ACCESS CO., LTD. (TSE:4813) today announced the availability of a technical preview version of its NetFront Browser v3.4 for Pocket PC, an Internet browser for Pocket PC devices. By making this technical preview available, ACCESS expects to obtain extensive feedback from users prior to releasing the final commercial version of the browser, which is scheduled for release in the first half of this year. Both the Japanese and English language versions of the technical preview version of NetFront Browser v3.4 for Pocket PC will be available for download from ACCESS' website free of charge."
It only seemed like yesterday that we were dabbling with NetFront v3.3, and now you can get your hands on a technical preview of NetFront v3.4. New features include improved performance, a Page Pilot mode, and visual bookmarks. As always, there are limitations with a pre-release version such as this. It time bombs on January 31, you're restricted to two tabbed windows, user agents cannot be modified, the Auto-Cruise feature is limited to the first layer, and there's a cap of ten registered bookmarks. There's more, but I won't bore you with the details. Head over to the beta page (English or Japanese), download it, and give it a test run. And one more thing: Windows Mobile 5.0 is a requirement. Happy surfing.
