That is sweet browser. It works for me both Wifi and Cellular network.
I have been using for about a week. I had sporadic problems using Edge with LVWS Rom and now with the Cingular 2.0 Black Rom I have no problems.......so far
Thanks for posting this, works great. Have to say it makes reading the forum easier from my phone. Using it to post this reply.
yeah, must agree, except that it does not work on some sites, this browser is head and shoulders above the rest. Great for reading.
Great
This is a great browser - nice and slick.
Plus it seems to be better for viewing PDF's than any other viewer i've tried

Not just SEEMS to be better at viewing PDF's, it is faster and slicker than any other PDF software and everyone should install it for the PDF capabilities alone - it is a bonus that it is a great web browser and views files of many different types
I've tried to install/re-install the program in main memory and Storage card. But tried to launch the Picsel Browser - keep getting "Initialisation Failure". Can anyone help ????
Might make a good pdf viewer, but its a piece of sh*t for a browser...works, but too much funky zoom/pan bs.
I absolutely love this application.
has anyone tried to login to myspace with this browser? It seems that this browser cuts part of the webpage, the part where I would login !

Could be a corupt file.
Try downloading it again.
It should work.
It may not be perfect, but its refreshingly different! I like it... thanks for the CAB

Thanks for the advice. But I have tried many time to reinstall/redownload ( also from other sites) but still encountered the "Initialisation Failure " error. I've also cleaned the direcory/registry/notification queue too but still not working. It's a pity - I would like to try out this program.

Yup, I have the same issue. Its a nice browser, fast and all but has some problems with rendering full page.
yeah, I definitely like the concept Of this browser. If the rendering problem could be fixed, I would dump opera mini and netfront in a heartbeat!
i like this app too, really nice.
someone has tried to browse a youtube video? i think this are flash movies, so i have installed flashplayer 7 (adobe(macromedia)), but the site alwayr return: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Flash Player.
anyone knows how to solve this problem?
regards, chief
sweet!
Thanks guys, brings me back to the Sony UX50 days, a very capable browser.
I found out that the browser can only reach internet by using WIFI. when i tried to use cellular line, it did not work.
any idea to solve this? the software is very very good....
Is there an app with integrated browsing and playing of YouTube videos for the Excalibur? Something like the one that comes with the iPhone and T-Mobile G1?
I did have something set up before with TCPMP and some kind of IE plugin, but it just really isn't ideal and was prone to errors. I know I've seen integrated browser/players for touch screen WinMo phones, but I've never seen anything for WinMo Standard.

Reboot fixed it, I'm surprised I hadn't already tried that. This program is brilliant, it is not only a fantastic integrated YouTube browser, but also the best local media player that I've seen for this phone so far. This is awesome.
If you guys haven't gotten it yet...get it! Awesome app! It allows watching Youtube vids in HQ even on 3G! =D HTC got it right!
So is this a HTC only app?
I honestly don't know. It's definitely an HTC made app, but it doesn't appear under HTC Apps in the the Marketplace, it appears in the general apps section.
not finding this in marketplace, still can only find the basic youtube app and the one by lazyworm.

Not yet. My HD7 is resting peacefully while my HD2 gets to use the sim card. Once I've had my fill of HD2 goodness, I will boot up the crown jewel for a luxury ride and install the app.

No prob. I just went into Apps then sideswiped to new and it was about 10 apps down, under Holy Bible. Correction, 1 app after that, between GPS4Me and Soniccasting.

didn't show up under search.
Now if it only allowed you to login to see your subscribed videos....
Much higher quality video over data and wifi and it shows the lighter color download bar as well so you know if its gonna buffer.

The decision to let hardware makers customise only by individual apps is starting to pay off. The fact that HTC are the only ones to have a native YouTube app (which imo is a stupid thing to leave out of the OS, but only cause I use YouTube a lot) is making me strongly lean towards one of their devices over samsung

The thing is, all WP7 phones can use HTC apps. The Hub is available not only for HTC phones, but also Samsung and LG.

I didn't think that was true. Each OEM has their own apps, like htc has the only flashlight app that uses the flash of the camera.

about an hour ago i was skimming through the new apps in the marketplace and came upon an engadget app (not engadget reader). I went ahead and downloaded it. Right off the bat i could tell this was the official engadget app. Great metro ui integration, very smooth interface and offered podcast and videos integrated into the app. I was a little suspicious of the app and whether or not it was the official one, but it had an about page with all the copyright info from engadget. Right before typing this I searched once more for this app and it seems that it has been pulled from the marketplace as well as the engadget reader.
Did anyone else download this app before it was pulled?
It's unfortunate that it got pulled down before I could get it. I have the Engadget reader and it's lacking. I want an official Engadget app ASAP!
Good to hear about it being smooth with metro UI integration though.
I managed to get it before it disappeared.
Wonder what got it yanked?
What is it like, screenshots?
Microsoft seems to be really strict about their guidelines. They have guidelines for everything from User Interface to how long u have for the app to load/resume to distributing it on the marketplace, lol.

I believe this link should do, but it's not there for download:
http://redirect.zune.net/External/L...oneAppID=e32911a0-472d-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Link may not work in browsers other than IE. It didn't work in my version of Opera.
I got it. Settings button restarts it, might be why they pulled it so it's fixed. Give it a go and see if it's the same for you.
Ok it wasn't an offical Engadget app or they would have had an artical on it. much like all the BBC apps none are offical BBC apps. the apps that Engadget has for IOS and Android are offical. from what I was told they will be having one soon but it wasn't that app.

Yeah, it is official, but it is buggy.
App restarts whenever you hit the Settings button.
I deleted to the unofficial Engadget app for the official Engadget app.
It seems the unofficial app was pulled down too
The screenshots make it look sort of ugly compared to the Android and iOS versions of the app. For anyone who has it, what do you guys think?

I have been trying to get this app since it was discovered on the 16th. My guess is that it was released, found to be buggy, and then pulled back. One thing about the WP7 marketplace is that Microsoft actually QA's the apps during the approval process. Android, never. Apple, yes. But it is to look for anti-apple or sexy stuff(j/k).
My buddy has been trying to get his WP7 GPS app approved for quite some time now. It keeps getting rejected for various QA and functionality requirements that keeps the WP7 ecosystem efficient and functional. So props to Microsoft for being sticklers about the quality of apps released(the purpose and types of apps release is another thing).
In case people want to keep checking for the app, here's the link to Zune d/l: http://ow.ly/3ZWl0

The ATRIX 4G lagged its way to a 9/10 (or was it 9.5?) on Engadget and I believe the Galaxy S[hit] got a pretty high score as well even though its lag and GPS issues were well-known at the point of review...
I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.
Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?
Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

Just middle button pressed "XDA PORTAL POSTS" news and it still opens up on the same tab. Even on 2015 / 2015 dark theme :/
I'd actually would prefer to use the old theme either way so I could use Dark XDA Stylish theme by @GermainZ as for me it looks much better. Just a presonal preference.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.
